"Ladies, you do not realise how often men think about the Roman Empire": Trend Has Women Realizing the Men in Their Lives Can't Stop Thinking About Ancient Rome

It's a conundrum as old as the concept of gender itself: what goes through the minds of the opposite sex all day, every day? If a recent craze is anything to go by, women are one step closer to figuring out this puzzle.

The answer comes in the form of ancient history. For the sake of social media research, men are being asked how often they think about the Roman Empire and usually, their answer is somewhere along the lines of "regularly". After an Instagram Reel went viral for suggesting that women greatly underestimated the importance of Ancient Rome to men, numerous ladies began posting about how their male relatives and partners had revealed that they think about the two thousand year old civilization on an at least weekly basis.

This apparent phenomenon has caused widespread bemusement, leaving many to ponder the reasoning behind it. All we know for sure is that if there's one thing that most dudes love, it's historical events of some description.
