Social How often do you think about the roman empire

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

Not that often to be honest.

 

[BearGrounds]

It's currently relevant, as America is falling just as Rome did.

Internal and external pressures, economic instability, political division, and barbarian hordes invading.

All US citizens should be thinking about it daily, as it is at the door. Only fools cannot see it, and are thus bringing its destruction to the US as a modern day reenactment.

It's a TikTok trend in which men are asked how many times a week men think about the Roman Empire. The answer is usually often.

Figured this'd right at home here

Only when I see threads about it.

The Roman's could have used a man of my intellect to guide them on their philosophical journey.

 

[Legumes]

Not at all, until I saw the thread title...

Balkan Italy Greece are the descendants of the roman empire ? My theory is that Gedmatch results called Mediterranean are Roman. So I am part Roman. In any case I am a Roman descendant.

 

[KnightTemplar]

Every evening; my favourite home defence weapon is a Cold Steel Gladius Machete, and I put it next to my bed before I go to sleep at night.

 

[RemyR]

Almost daily.

Fun fact they recently discovered the formula for Romes immortal concrete.

Bacco (Bacchus) is a figure from Roman mythology, the Greek god Dionysus (Διόνυσος). God of wine, vintage and vices, his worship (bacchanal) spreaded in the Italian peninsula in the second century BC.

is that a Bactria reference?

Romans killed Jesus. Then prayed to him

 

[BowserJr]

Once a month on average

 

[Jack Reacheround]

Not often at all. Probably because I’m not consuming stupid manisphere shit and pretending to read Marcus Aurelius all the time.

 

[markantony20]

every day man.

Romans killed Jesus. Then prayed to him

The Jews killed Jesus and eh, yeah 300 years later after several persecutions. It wasn't until the reign of Constantine that things started to turn good for Christians. Before the famous battle of The Milvian Bridge, Constantine was said to have saw a sign in the sky and it was of the Christian God. He was told to have his men draw the sign on their shields before battle. Constantine won the battle to gain sole control of the Roman Empire and there you go.

I like the game Rome: Total War. I play it every so often.

The 2005 original is great. One of the Goats of that era for sure.

Often. Roman history is fascinating.

The founding fathers of America modeled a lot of it off of the Roman republic. I also believe today that we might be watching the erosion of our own republic into dictatorship

They very much studied Roman history. I think most of them spoke Latin and had read the classics.

I wouldn't say dictatorship would be good today but it wasn't bad for the Romans. They had their Golden Age between the time of Augustus in 27 BC until the time of the Antonine Plague in 165 AD.

Your thread reminded me that I haven't thought about PAM in a while.

The commercial actors were given a difficult task: You have 0.2 seconds to demonstrate thinking about PAM. GO!
