CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — Is the Roman Empire on your mind a lot? Some people say it is.
WBZ's Kyle Bray is in Cambridge asking some of the brightest scholars how often they think about the ancient empire.
The trend started on TikTok when people started asking their friends how often they think about the Roman Empire and to their surprise... it was a lot.
"Once a month I would say, as of late it's been more of a daily occurrence," one Harvard student WBZ's Kyle Bray. Another student said, "I'd say probably every day... twice on Sundays."
While some Cambridge residents admitted to thinking about it often, most said it's not on their mind all that much.
"I think the most I've thought about it was when I was reading the "Percy Jackson" series in middle school," one woman told WBZ's Kyle Bray.
