David Mitchell definitely thinks about the Roman Empire every day. He just longs for a more organized society.

I love how his angry logic has absolutely no patience for daytime talk show shenanigans. 😂😂😂

David Mitchell tries to explain "having thoughts" to daytime TV hosts

Every time I go past a pothole i think of roman road layering techniques, and how the high concentration of lime would fix cracks in the roads.
I ride my bike every day, i see potholes every day. Every day it astounds me how advanced they were so long agom

He thinks about the Pharaoh’s way more often. Their business secrets are impeccable.

These kids know absolutely nothing about Stalingrad.

If I lived in the UK, I might think about the Roman Empire pretty frequently. Their influence was still apparent in many ways.

Honestly, I know it’s in the news now, but I find myself thinking about it ATLEAsT several times a week myself.

And it's a reminder that even the most advanced and complex societies can collapse, even while much of the populace is under the illusion that it'll remain there forever.
This society is no less vulnerable, and possibly even more so with how overly complex and reliant on intricate global supply chains it is.

I'm genuinely confused as to why they are so shocked. Guess I'll keep scrolling. Respect to that guy.

[themanlybeard]

Y'all throwing a lot of mud for people who think about the Kardashians daily....

[fredlewis]

There's Roman/greek columns all over the UK. There's roman/greek shit all over the place. Pretty impossible to go a day without seeing something related to the roman empire or the greeks

[barbararowley]

I can certainly understand it regularly popping into the minds of anyone living in an area that was part of the Roman Empire. There’s still lots of evidence of it around. I don’t live in one of those areas but still internally reflect on just how long it took to figure out why their concrete is self-healing whenever I see a bit of crumbling modern concrete. (We literally only figured it out in 2014.)

I talk about Rome at least once a day with someone because there’s always something cool that they done to talk about PS me and most of my friends work in a museum

😂 😂 😂 😂 That 5 few seconds is meme worthy

This week, on Tuesday had someone quote Cicero at me. Wednesday, I used the Battle of Alesia as a reference when talking to someone else. Thursday, someone I was talking with kept using the expression “Crossing the Rubicon”. Technically all those things were actually from the Roman Republic… but more oddly they were all from a very narrow time frame in the Republic.

Before the mention of the Roman Empire, this began very weird, out of context 😂😂

[DaveBlackburnsMixTape]

He knows that there is history everywhere in Britain. Romans, Vikings, the French. I'm from Yorkshire and, like many of my fellow Yorkshiremen, I'm 40% Scandinavian and 20% Scottish. David Mitchell has a great knowledge of English history so he's going to be reminded of it because it still surrounds us.

[Philip-xjul]

I can't even begin tdescribe the vast sorrow I feel everyday, thinking about the lost grace of the great roman civilisation
