Men Are Always Thinking About The Roman Empire

Men — OK, men over 40 — are always thinking about the Roman Empire.

This is because: Men are the builders of civilization.

Why is it that, for 500 years after the Renaissance, college education consisted of:

Learning Greek and Latin

Reading big books in the original Greek and Latin

???

Books like the histories of Polybius, Livy and Tacitus.

Books like The Commentaries of Julius Caesar, or the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius.

Two of the greatest leaders of Rome actually wrote books, and you can read them!

Women never think about the Roman Empire.

This is because: Matriarchy Does Not Exist.

Women think about: Cats, Baby Yoda, and other things that resemble human infants.

Nothing wrong with that.
