The Roman Empire

“How many times a day do men think about the Roman Empire” TikTok is a trend where women ask significant men in their lives (boyfriends, husbands, brothers) how often they think about the Roman Empire. And usually, the answer follows a structure of “not that much”, “a few times a week”, “because it was a huge empire”. I think it’s interesting because these women are shocked that these men in their lives think about the Roman Empire this much (Women in this trend seem to never think about the Roman Empire), and wonder what that say about their male perspective. And also this trend shows how this kind of social media groups people together so well and niche that it can create a trend for women married to men who think about the Roman Empire, and make it feel like every man thinks about the Roman Empire, even though it’s probably a small group.
