How many times do you think about the Roman Empire per day?
Up to what point would you consider the Eastern Roman Empire "the Roman Empire"? That's important for my answer.
I only ever think about the Holy Roman Empire, so I'm not in the in-group sadly :-(
calls themselves Roman
Leader calls themselves Rex
Denied.
It's got continuity of Roman institutions/conventions/culture, I'd personally count it
Don't worry friend, by asking this clarifying question we already know your answer is 'a sufficient amount'
almost never, i dont quite understand the widespread gendered culturalur of Roman history.
outside of the song Zero to Hero in Hercules, which is obviously amazing.
no wait, that's Greece.
oh but then Hercules the name is Roman right?
originallly heracles?
oo boy
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!"
Sometimes I think I'm thinking about the Roman Empire, but then it turns out I'm thinking about the Holy Roman Empire.
Lol, sure, that happened
But what if it did??
It did, kind internet stranger
It's not as rare as you'd think. I've had it happen
Hence my utter surprise
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.
God I love that woman.
I look forward to her three hour long YouTube video
That's a relief!
