Who says you can't laugh and learn at the same time? Teachers who think memes are trash, that's who. Well lucky for all you history nerds out there who prefer their education with a side of humor, the internet is the gift that keeps on giving when it comes to dank history memes. Scroll along for a hearty batch of nerdy memes that poke fun at the past. 

In 44 BC, notorious Roman dictator Julius Caesar was stabbed 23 times by his own senators, soldiers, officers and associates during a senate meeting on the Ides of March. Once a day of celebration, many history buffs now associate March 15th with tragedy and betrayal, largely thanks to soothsayer's famous warning in Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, 'beware the Ides of March.'

We thought it might be fun to gather a bunch of relevant Roman memes for all the history enthusiasts out there (and for anyone who might have a good reason to look over their shoulder). Beware the Ides of March!

Both my mom and my therapist are constantly reminding me not to dwell on the past. They say it's unhealthy and that it prevents a person from living in the present. Most of the time, I'd say they have a point. It's hard to make progress when you're ruminating over an awkward interaction from ten years ago. But what if the "dwelling" is in the name of entertainment? While it's true that neither party was referring to history memes, I'd like to think that scrolling through nuggets of historical humor is probably the only healthy way to "live in the past," even if it's just for a modest five minutes. 

We've got another dank collection of memes full of educational jokes and history humor. These memes span over many centuries for those looking for a spicy joke about the Munich Agreement or maybe a good Crassus gag. Not gonna lie, we had to google the context of some of the more obscure ancient Rome memes, but that's part of what's so fun about these. Accidentally learning something new just to get the punchline? We'll take it. 

Do you nerd out over ancient history? Are you a sucker for all things Rome? If so, you're in luck! Here are 15 premium dank ancient Roman memes you can view and maybe learn a thing or two from!

Some people are twentieth-century history nerds, and others geek out over ancient history - these memes are for the latter. And who doesn't like a nice little dose of ancient Rome every once in a while?

What do you think of when you hear the name "Cleopatra"? Most of us probably think of her as being a wily temptress with a bit of a man-eating habit, but according to this Twitter thread, there was even more crazy sh*t going on in the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt! 

We can bet that history buffs will really get a kick out of this Twitter thread written by Anne Theriault!

Y'all ready for a little blast from the past? We heard recently that some rural schools are getting rid of their history majors due to low enrollment. While people may be favoring career-specific education, the internet is still overflowing with history related-memes. And they cost a lot less than a college course.

The Roman empire was cut in half with a pair of...Caesars.

Hehehe.
