Once every few weeks or so, usually when something comes up online or on TV set in Rome or round the time period involved. Rarely pops up in my mind unprompted.

I was talking about it in the pub last night.

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

Not at all. I think about the British Empire and Ottoman Empire more, but still not much.

Probably a few times a week.

I didn't realise this was a thing.

Whenever I think of Fomenko (basically daily) I think of how fake everything about the Roman Empire is.

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.

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.

Woa, this post made me smarter just now
