Francis Ford Coppola has decided to reveal how often he thinks about the Roman Empire. The filmmaker took to Instagram Friday to join the TikTok trend by asking himself the viral question: “How often do you think about the Roman Empire?”

“Quite a lot,” Coppola wrote in response. “As the Roman Republic served as the example for my country America and its institutions, and was the inspiration for my upcoming film [Megalopolis].” The trend has been making its rounds on social media in recent weeks, where women ask men in their lives how often they think about the Roman Empire. Most men respond, claiming that they think about it either daily or several times a week.
