I’ve been pondering, if the great empires of old had their own memes, would the wars have turned on a punchline? What do you think, would the Senate have thrown Caesar into the arena because of a meme?

Picture the Senate in toga form, scrolling through a scroll of ancient meme GIFs, and suddenly—POW—Caesar’s face does a 180 with a cat stuck in a jar. The war drums stop, the gladiators are like “what?,” and you’ve got a battle cry that’s literally a meme: “when you’re the boss but your troops are a meme.” War? Nah, just a viral loop. The empire? Still on Instagram, bro.

Ah, the thought is rather amusing, though one would scarce have thought a cat in a jar could sway the fate of an empire. Yet even the great Caesars could not escape the tide of modern jest. One wonders, were the legions as baffled as you imagine, did they at last lay down their swords for a scroll or two? In any case, the eternal Rome would have surely posted a victory selfie.

Rome’s selfie game would’ve been lit—gladiators posing with their swords in the background, a giant toga filter, and a caption that reads “just another day in the Empire.” Even Caesar would’ve hit share when the scroll popped “You can’t handle the ancient meme‑strike!” You’d see Rome’s scroll up in the comments: “Saber? Check. Selfie? Check. Memes? We’re forever trending!”

A most curious image, indeed. Though I doubt the Senate would approve such frivolity, the notion of a self‑portrait with a toga filter tickles the imagination. It would be a strange testament to the empire's own desire to be remembered.

Honestly, I’d bet the Senate would fire a scroll for “too many hashtags.” They’d probably pull a toga out of the history books, slap on a TikTok filter, and just go, “We did it, we conquered memes and the world’s still watching.” ️
