The new trend that is becoming increasingly popular on TikTok is about the Roman Empire
“How often do you think about this?Roman Empire?” is a question that has been going crazy on social media for days. We at FQMagazine told you about it on September 17th last year, also because “the trend” was becoming increasingly difficult to ignore: several foreign newspapers spoke about it – from Chron for the Washington Post – and the numbers were and are even more impressive. “How often do you think about the Roman Empire?” is the key question. The Swede Arthur Hulu, under the name on social media, would have opened the dance for this “chain of questioning”. Gaius Flavius. After many VIPs jumping on the social trend, here comes someone who actually has the right to respond: Alberto Angela. Is he thinking about the Roman Empire?“At least fifty a day. I love the Roman Empire, it is my passion. I think about it a lot because it was a society very similar to ours, and when you see how it solved certain problems, sometimes you learn how to solve them today. There was no racism, not like we see in many places today, no one was discriminated against because of the color of their skin, just as today no one is discriminated against because of the color of their eyes. Women were very emancipated and from a certain moment they were free, they commanded: Poppea, Agrippina, Cecilia Metella, people of great power, independent. Sex was free: There was no homo, straight or bi… we loved each other in the truest sense of the word.” The presenter and popularizer made his explanation during “Ulysses, the pleasure of discovery”, his Rai program, this time dedicated to the Roman Empire.
