Once or twice a week, but only really because I do a lot of worldbuilding and part of that is taking inspiration from IRL civilisations.
Not at all. I think about the British Empire and Ottoman Empire more, but still not much.
At least twice per week. I'm male.
My sister asked me this and I was shocked when I realized that I think about the Roman Empire at least once a week
I was talking about it in the pub last night.
At least 2-3 times a day, I love their technology, the aqueducts the roads and the stone work. I love to think about post empire when the Germans Gauls and British were living around their ruins unable to build structures like they could. I think about the citizens and how similar their lives are to ours then how drastically it changed post empire. I think about how awful it must have been to be a slave in that time.
I got hooked on rome from Dan carlins hard core history series on the fall of the republic and he did another one on Cesar in Gaul.
Whenever I think of Fomenko (basically daily) I think of how fake everything about the Roman Empire is.
Probably a few times a week.
I didn't realise this was a thing.
Sometimes. A few times a week, at least. I compare our current lives with the Romans when contemplating existence. It made me realize humans are genetically hardwired to be shit as we largely haven't changed in the past few thousand years and likely never will. It made me realize how terrible humanity is and how I don't want to be a part of it.
I think about how Christians helped ruin Rome. Basically the west died and all the smarts went east. The west suffered and spread its disease ever since.
Literally fascist shit.
Rome had it coming anyways, seethe.
Woa, this post made me smarter just now
