wawely, Wodewick.
Actually I'm pretty into history - so, often. Particularly like Romano Briton.0 -
What have they ever done for us?4

I don't like to gatekeep but personally hate this trend, because now every person will sit there and say "everyday" when in reality they're not that interested nor thinking about the Roman Empire at all. Apologies for the mini rant.5

Romans did nothing for us!!0

I think every day but my answer depends on context, is it just the Roman empire or Byzantium, Third Rome(Russia) and their technological innovations etc.
It's less about the Romans Empire directly for me and the other subjects offshot from that ala aqueducts, road maintenance, construction etc0 -
Finished watching I, Claudius recently so I guess a fair bit.0

I like history and read a lot of history books (fiction and non fiction). But I'm currrently reading the Conn Iggulden books about Genghis khan so no provocation to think about the Romans then. My daughter is learning latin (bizarrely it's comulsory in Spain at her age) but beyond occasionally pointing out what a useless subject that is, it doesn't provoke me to 'think about Romans'.
Unless something specific occurs (visiting a Roman Villa, watching Gladiator etc) I rarely think about Romans or their empire. And to be honest, I think that survey is rubbish.
Alea Jacta Est (which I half remember from Asterix books).3 - Sponsored links:

I suppose Chelsea fans still dream of the days when Abramovich was in charge.4

Genghis Khan was arguably the greatest conqueror the world has ever seen - not necessarily all good of course but incredibly impressive when you bear in mind Temugin controlled the largest contiguous land empire in world history. I've read a bit about him but know much less than I should and I intend to correct that when retirement gives me more time.1 -
Think about it more in July and August.2

Quite often when travelling on Watling Street locally.0

I live just off a roman road so quite a bit but never for very long.0
