Roman Empire

An idea first emerging online that is used to emphasize someone's interest in a topic. It is not associated with the actual Roman Empire besides its origins, and more means "...is something I'm interested in".

This originated from the idea that many men often wonder about the history of the Roman Empire, and women online wondered if they had their own equivalent to the men's "Roman Empire". While originating from women, it's gender non-specific.

This can be used in a sentence similar to phrases like "magnum opus".
"The relationship between Vada and Thomas in "My Girl" is my Roman Empire!"

"The Roman Empire is my Roman Empire."
