?A trend on TikTok has gone viral where women ?ask their boyfriends or husbands to find out how often they think about the Roman Empire. #romanempire has gone viral on TikTok with more 893 million views and thousands of creators making videos on the same trend. The responses have been quite bizarre showing how seriously men think about it. Men are seen explaining their views and thoughts on the Roman Empire in the videos.?

It is said that if men are not thinking about the Roman Empire three to four times in a week, then they are not doing it right. Men explain that they think about the Empire and discuss it with their other male friends.?

When asked, in a video a man answered “Three times a day” . “There’s so much to think about,” he explained, eliciting a stunned look into the camera from his soon-to-be wife.

It is still quite unknown why men ?have an inclination towards the Roman Empire and a constant topic of their thoughts. The reason behind this is still unidentified however, one simple explanation could be the influence of the Roman Empire on the world. The Roman empire had created a world-dominating society.?

Another reason for this particular daydreaming amongst men could be the depiction of masculinity and authority which was possessed by men. Roman Empire is viewed through the prism of warfare, politics, domination, elite power and masucline sources.?

Since, the trend has shown quite the interest amongst men for Roman Empire, the conversation now opens up to more things like, whether women think about any particular empire or era like Mesopotamia or Indus Valley Civilisation or Babylonian Empire.?
