The Roman Empire: A Random TikTok Obsession

Alright, let’s get one thing straight. If you haven’t stumbled upon Roman Empire videos on TikTok, you’re either living under a rock or you’re too cool for viral trends (but we all know you secretly love them). For those skeptical souls who refuse to download TikTok, let me break it down for you—the Roman Empire is having its biggest comeback since marble columns were in fashion.

In 2022, a Swedish influencer named Saskia Cort kicked off this unexpected obsession. But it was Gaius Flavius, a Roman reenactor, who made it truly viral with his mind-boggling statement, “Ladies, many of you do not realize how often men think about the Roman Empire.” Cue the collective confusion and curiosity.

Now, here’s where the fun begins. Users all over TikTok started asking their husbands, boyfriends, fathers, and brothers how often they think about the Roman Empire. And boy, have the answers been entertaining. Let’s dive into this time-traveling rabbit hole, shall we?

First up, we have Mr. Three-Times-A-Day, who, with an alarming level of enthusiasm, confessed to his girlfriend that he thinks about the Roman Empire thrice daily. To be clear, we’re talking about chariots and togas here, not ordering pizza.

Then there’s Mr. Every-Day-Is-Roman-Day, who proudly claims he never misses a single day without considering the Roman Empire. Just imagine his morning routine: brushing teeth, brewing coffee, and contemplating the architectural wonders of ancient Rome. Talk about dedicating time to self-improvement!

Let’s not forget Mr. Once-a-Week, who, let’s be honest, got a bit defensive when someone pointed out that thinking about the Roman Empire every week might be a tad excessive. I can’t help but wonder what goes on in his mind during the remaining six days. Cue the conspiracy theories!

But wait, there’s more! One brave soul decided to survey multiple friends via text and, trust me, their answers were mind-boggling. From perplexed responses to total silence, it’s safe to say this person’s friends are a curious mix of clueless and speechless.

Thankfully, not everyone is completely obsessed with togas and gladiator battles. One enlightened man, when asked about the Roman Empire, cleverly responded, “The Nicki Minaj album?” Kudos to him for bringing a little hip-hop flavor to this ancient debate.

Oh, and just in case you thought this viral TikTok trend couldn’t get any better, Carson Daly from the Today show chimed in. Apparently, he thinks about the Roman Empire every single day. His reasoning? Gladiator, stoicism, cold plunging, keto—everything leads back to Marcus Aurelius. Who knew ancient philosophies could have such a profound impact on modern trends?

Now, before we wrap things up, I’ll leave you with the grand finale—the artwork. Yes, people are actually creating Roman Empire-inspired masterpieces on Twitter. It seems the TikTok trend has ignited a creative wildfire, and the Romans would definitely approve.

So, there you have it—the Roman Empire TikTok trend in all its bizarre glory. Who would’ve thought that ancient history could captivate our minds and our social media feeds? Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have an urgent need to binge-watch “Gladiator” while contemplating the meaning of life.
