    I am never not thinking about our Tribal Chief Roman Reigns.

    Thoughts about the OTHER Roman Empire creep in occasionally as well.

    I had to google who that was and as I was doing so I thought, “I bet he is a wrestler.”

    Hard for me to quantify honestly. I don't feel like I think about it a whole lot on my own volition, but reading and engaging in political discussions, frequent references to it from others are pretty inevitable, and that muddies the waters a bit on determining how much my thoughts come to me more independently.

    If we include the Byzantines, which we should, I think about the Roman Empire every day. I follow some Byzantine mosaic accounts on Twitter.

    III to V times a month I'd say. I was a History major and that time period was one of my favorites so I often find myself reading or watching something about that time.

    Still unsure if this whole thing is a big joke everyone is trying to be in on or what. But I'm gonna start trying to pay attention to how often it comes up. I was an art history major and took 3 semesters of Italian in college and I really enjoy the history of the Roman Empire, but yeah...

    Re: Roman Empire

    Why should Caesar get to stomp around like a giant, while the rest of us try not to get smushed under his big feet? What's so great about Caesar? Hm? Brutus is just as cute as Caesar. Brutus is just as smart as Caesar. People totally like Brutus just as much as they like Caesar. And when did it become okay for one person to be the boss of everybody, huh? Because that's not what Rome is about. We should totally just stab Caesar!

    Re: Roman Empire

    It’s all made me realize how little I know/remember about the Roman Empire. Maybe I’ll do some research. Maybe that was the plan all along.

    I think about it when I’m at Caesar’s in Vegas!
