This meme is a humorous comparison between the prices of everyday items during the Roman Empire and the modern Western world. The image features two columns, one labeled "Westerners when prices go up" and the other "Romans when prices go up".

The image is meant to be humorous and satirical, poking fun at the idea that saving money is not as simple as just following these three steps.
