Where does the “The Roman baptistery” meme come from?
Encarnita, along with her brother Miguel and sister Josefina, appeared in a report on the Spanish show «Callejeros» presenting the remains of a 1st-century Roman baptistery, discovered by their grandfather while plowing his land with mules in Las Gabias, in the province of Granada. Her now-famous line, «¿A quién no le va a gustar un imperio romano del siglo I?» («Who wouldn't like a 1st-century Roman empire?»), turned the segment into a fondly remembered TV moment, still shared years after Encarnita and her siblings passed away.
