I know this is a joke/meme, but I sincerely think of the Roman Empire a surprising amount of times. I find myself obsessing over how Roman citizens were living just as complex lives as we are today, or about Marcus Aurelius’ life and philosophy, or about how the Republic fell and became a totalitarian state.

    Apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system, and public health ?

      Alright, but apart from sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system, and public health; what have the Romans ever done for us?
