I've delved way too deep into the fall of the Western Roman Empire. I think I know a lot about Majorian, Stilicho, Aetius and Ricimer. My gf at this point even knows who Honorius is and why he was a bad emperor. Edit: and that he had chicken :)

When I saw the meme "How often do you daily think about the Roman Empire", I knew that it was about me, because the answer is yes :/

I think it's neat that you're taking an interest in history. You could do worse things with your free time :)

Thank you! I really appreciate it. I think so too, especially because learning history provides one with a better understanding and contextualization of current events. I'm still wondering why exactly I picked the Roman Empire, but I also think that's a pretty nice topic to delve into :)

Once again, thanks for your comment - it really matters to me!
