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’m currently watching the 2005 series “Rome”, so it happens quite frequently.
Amazing show. Paved the way for the better parts of Game of Thrones.
Paved the way they did.
Yeah. First I was like “I never realised 2005 looked this old and the acting doesn’t seem too polished either”, but now I’m om episode 6 and I’m hooked. I especially like how they betray “Roman life”, eventhough they do only show the upperclasses.
