Hopefully it's understood that the "how often do you think of the Roman Empire per day" about men is a meme, it just so happens that I've quite enjoyed Roman history, and also happen to be a man.
I wouldn't say interest Roman history is a "man thing", just that my own personal experience happened to be meme-able haha
ha, i definitely have known only men and many men who love to start talking about Roman history at the drop of a hat.
It's a meme, but it's very anecdotally accurate in my experience.
it has 100% of the time been a guy talking about "the thing about ancient rome!..." haha.
"it's like, they only took the best ideas, and then only improved on those ideas after adding them into their society!"
"The reason Roman militaries were undefeated was their commitment to organization and efficiency. do you know about Hannibal? not the movie., a general. no, his son!"
My wife occasionally asks me to download books for her from Anna's or Libgen. Recently, one was a survey and analysis of the Late Bronze Age Collapse by a noted scholar in the field.
