Notes -
To mirror Scott's ACX survey: In the past 24 hours, have you thought about the Roman Empire? If so, what was the context of that thought?
Easter so Roman governance (Pilate vs Harold), Roman army organization and titles, and Pax Romana are all pretty central to the day's activities, lessons, and meditations.
But also with the ship wreck in Baltimore, wondering how much of maritime law traces back to Rome.
How often Rome/Fall of Rome proxies show up in strategy game lore (Wh40k, battletech, etc).
And whenever I look up something in various languages how the Romance languages are just corrupted Latin.
Oh and I saw some wine at the store and thought of how much Rome changed Europe with wine vs beer drinking.
