    Uh didn't ancient Egypt still have pretty "traditional" gender roles? Not sure what this meme is trying to say

      Yes. I think whoever made the meme just saw that upper class men in ancient Egypt wore eyeliner, and assumed that meant they were non-binary?

        Also ancient Romans, just like ancient Greeks, had a long tradition of materialism as well. Plato always had people criticizing his idealism, and this continued into the Roman tradition as well.
