Social media sees many trends come and go over a year, but few dominate on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. In 2023, some of those trends included “My Roman Empire,” which asked TikTok users to ask the men in their lives how often they think about the Roman Empire. Many noted they spent significant time thinking about the empire, leading the hashtag #RomanEmpire to earn 3 billion views.
