Yeah, it's got so much popular mythology built up around it that virtually nobody has an actually good concept of what it looked like. That's true of a lot of historical periods, but because crypto-fascists like the Roman aesthetic so much, you just tend to see this one more. Most actual classicists aren't hanging out on Roman statue Twitter.
Well, in Russian-speaking Web that aesthetic actually is more popular among modest moderate right liberals. Confined to their own gatherings and lectures about republicanism, TG channels with announcements of those, maybe some articles on how a republic may function, republican morality (that'd be just civil responsibility).
In words they may have some intersections with fascism, in emotion - less than anybody.
And humans are not rational creatures, so one should always look at the emotion first.
