I find it interesting but for the diversity of “why”

I have an Italian American friend who weirdly into the Roman Empire, kind of in a weeb kind of way but he’s a tatted up (Roman Republic full back piece!) Army veteran who would Kimura my ass if I he sees this.

I have a friend just nerdy as shit and into history. He constantly talks about this podcast or that.

I have an ex-roommate / philosophy major, so it comes up a good bit.

I have a friend into Stoicism. Oddly not a philosophy major.

I have a friend rich in small arms, ammunition, and those rice ration buckets because we’re destined for a failure of the Republic as they had.

I have a friend with the same belief, except he just wants to fiddle so I’m pretty sure I won’t bother raiding his house if either of them are correct.
