@romanrightsactivist look at this tasteless cultural appropriation I saw at the California State Fair last weekend

Ancient Rome is a culture, not a superficial branding strategy ugh

@romansocialjustice can Roman culture be appropriated?

Of course it can’t. Roman culture is BUILT on appropriation from OLDER and BETTER cultures (Greeks, Etruscans, Carthaginians, YOU GET THE PICTURE). Oppressed masses living under Roman rule adopting symbols of the dominant culture that were FORCED on them is just the tragic process of assimilation

Any Romans upset about this can stfu!!!!

I had to make a blog to educate them.

Follow if you are sick about how the conquered people look down on us after we’ve done so much for them.

Educate me to my FACE mentula not online see what happens!!!!!!!

Oh, I will. And you know how I’ll get up there? Using this…

Which I remind you we built for you.

By “““we”““ I assume you mean ROMAN SLAVES?????

Also the road system is completely based on Rome’s needs and not those of the local population, that’s why all roads lead to Rome

ancient-rome-au:

date a roman who…

  • upholds the mos maiorum
  • is cool with worshiping your gods, too
  • can tell you everything the Romans have ever done for your province
  • can tell you everything your province has ever done for Rome
  • doesn’t laugh at your accent when you speak Latin
  • makes an equal effort to learn your language
  • is committed to resisting barbarian invasions
  • doesn’t participate in palace coups or civil wars
  • performs his/her civic duties gladly
  • pays his/her taxes
  • has ascended suo anno through the entire cursus honorum
  • will instinctively form a testudowith two dozen other random countrymen if you give them tower shields and start shooting arrows at them
  • favors the same color as you at the chariot races
  • has an education in the triviumand the quadrivium

Sadly there is no such Roman. They are too blinded to their own privilege.
