i'm actually gonna go on record as a historian and say, on the subject of "why is every man i know always thinking about the roman empire", that means that every man you know has a dangerously bad relationship to imperialism
#roman empire#ancient rome#roman history#history#ancient history#not that history or specific fields of history are necessarily bad things to study#it's important that people study different eras of history and different groups of people to get a more accurate picture of the world#but the type of person who gets really into the roman empire#is just a repackaged version of the guy who's really into ww2#they romanticize a westernized version of the ancient world particularly highlighting periods and civilizations plagued by wars of conquest#history is about the people that were killed by howitzers and trebuchets#before it is about the machines of war themselves
