A viral internet trend is revealing that many men think about Rome… quite a bit. Our History editor-in-chief Amy Briggs can explain.
A TikTok craze is telling me that people want to know what men think about when they think about Rome. Unlike most TikTok trends, this one does not seem strange to me at all. But then again, it’s my job to think about Rome.
So sure, they are amazing achievements, but I think there’s another reason why they continue to resonate. They are still here. It’s because there are so many we can still see and interact with the aqueducts, roads, monuments, temples, theaters and stadiums, works of art, and literature. And you don’t have to go to Italy to see them . They’re out there in Britain, Europe, Africa, and western Asia.Many of the men I know who are thinking a lot about Rome seem to be most interested in two things: engineering and the military. Rome has those in spades. Rome marches across the vast territory, creates an empire, and then plants large public works all over it that need to be defended.
Same thing goes for the military—how do you organize, discipline, arm, clothe, and house your forces all over the Empire—sometimes in hostile territories? If you were plonked down in the middle of the Roman Empire, how would you do it? What would your life be like?Information about the Roman Empire is so accessible. There's no shortage of material from that time to consume.
