Not on a daily or even weekly basis, but certainly it pops into my mind here and there, or if I'm watching a movie or show about that period. Historically, as far as Romans go, in the last year or two, I have thought most about the Fall of Constantinople.

Not a day goes by that I don't think about retaking Constantinople and reuniting the east and west.

Every day. I love reading about Hadrian’s Wall.
Brittania is a good fictional series about that time, i wish they’d bring that back.

The Roman Empire sucked ass. Hannibal should have finished them off when he had the chance.
