You probably know the question by now. How often do you think about the Roman Empire?

I was only taught the bare bones of history in terms of Romans And i always confused the Ancient Greek and Romans as one or the other but they were like neighboring republics/ empires right?

Jack Edwards

I like Velesk Games and specifically Ludus Master, so I think about it... fairly often? More than a lot of people I'm sure.

Sh0tgun_Jacks0n

At least once daily. .... wait, what do you mean it's not a euphemism? Oh, in that case, I rarely if ever think about it.

Including successors to the name "Roman Empire"? Less than I used to.

Keenir

umm...kinda - like how Sweden is a neighbor of Spain.

Romani ite domum

Kiskocya

The Western Roman Empire or the Eastern Roman Empire ?

Zanith

Oh. Wait, how could this be an euphemism? Sounds like a very creative interpretation and I'm here for it

Zanith

And kinda like if Sweden was a vassal state/province of Spain for a few hundred years and then became an "Eastern Spain" and, uh... Yeah. Analogies.

Rome conquered the Greeks, but that didn't happen until well after the Greeks were at their peak.

Arcticwolf

I sometimes forget that at some point the empire got so big that they split it like that.

sorry, if I'd known there was gonna be a test, I would have studied harder. the last test I studied for was my blood test...

I initially assumed that "think about the Roman Empire" was a euphemism for masturbating. But apparently I'm a freak because I just spank the monkey like.... well, like a monkey and don't actually spare a thought for the long-dead centurions 🤣

Very rarely but sometimes when I'm standing in line with others and someone starts holding up the line I wonder if it would be easy to convince the other members of the line to give the person stalling the Caesar treatment lol.

I always thinks about those great Civilizations before us. Greek, Rome, Egypt, Persian, India, China.

Christoph Vogel

And Rome did adopt a lot of greek things too. Just need to compare their pantheons and mythologies. Zeus became Jupiter, Ares became Mars, Heracles became Hercules...

Wild Bill

Pretty much, yes. Trying to pretend that they weren't is stupid, especially saying "like Spain and Sweden", Greece and Rome are *far* closer than that both geographically and culturally.

Owen Townes

Rome, no. But how the Swiss wrecked faces in the 15th and 16th century? Every damn day. I guess if ROFLstomping the Holy Roman Empire counts, then...
