The video is pretty funny:

How Often Do You Think About the Roman Empire?

Also known as Asking My Husband How Often He Thinks About the Roman Empire or the Roman Empire TikTok Trend, refers to a 2023 Instagram Reels and TikTok trend in which women asked the men in their lives (husbands, boyfriends, fathers, brothers, etc.) how often they think about the Roman empire. When asked, the men predominantly said that they think about Rome frequently, resulting in the women being surprised by that.

*White men. Recall Denzel Washington being absolutely flabberghasted when asked this on the red carpet.

Ah yes, Denzel, chosen representative of all black men.

Thank you for correcting the record

It's niche in more diverse communities where history is reflected on in a more global sense and is less eurocentric overall (hence Denzel's hilarious response) but it's neat that these young men are reflecting on history. Hopefully it helps them understand something meaningful about the world.
