If I were to take a guess, it’ll have to do with the conservative obsession with Ancient Rome.

Man thinking about the Roman empire clock now reset to 0 (again).

Yup. See also the rampant use of ancient busts as profile pics. For some reason they are obsessed with the penis-graffiti-drawing, buttsex-enjoying, poetry-writing ancient Romans (and Greeks), when I'm pretty sure a typical aristocrat of the time would find them boorish and incredibly uneducated simpletons, barely fit to till a field.
