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 Westerners' column shows images of a gas pump, a house for sale, and a dozen eggs, with the text "We can't afford it!" The Romans' column shows a lettuce, a cabbage, and a soldier's helmet, with the text "Time to kill the emperor!" The meme is meant to poke fun at the idea that ancient Romans were more tolerant of price increases, and that they would have been more likely to take action against their leaders rather than just complaining about the cost of living.
