Tim’s take
His main use for Rome is as the go-to metaphor for American decline, insisting the fall wasn't a sudden collapse but decades of decay, bad entertainment, and payday loans before anyone noticed 38:16 18:14. Outside that riff he treats Rome as somewhere he genuinely wants to go and is planning to take his son, and elsewhere praises it as a civilization with the best art and real estate on earth 1:57:00 38:27 45:57.
