I know this is a joke/meme, but I sincerely think of the Roman Empire a surprising amount of times. I find myself obsessing over how Roman citizens were living just as complex lives as we are today, or about Marcus Aurelius’ life and philosophy, or about how the Republic fell and became a totalitarian state.
I eat 2 cups of food for lunch on weekdays because if it was good enough for a roman soldier to march on it’s good enough for me to go clickity clack on a keyboard.
