a person who likes to enjoy himself at others' suffering; a person who indulges in schadenfreude.
He has no heart. He is just a Roman on holiday.

An instance in which someone experiences enjoyment on account of someone else's suffering. The expression, first used in this sense in Byron's "Childe Harold," derives from the fact that the Roman Empire frequently proclaimed work-free days on which to hold gladiatorial games. "Roman holiday" can function as a loose equivalent of the German term Schadenfreude, which also means pleasure derived from another person's misfortune.
When he had to enter rehab himself, he realized that his mockery of Rush Limbaugh's painkiller addiction ultimately amounted to nothing more than a petty Roman holiday.

A Roman Holiday is when someone decides to take a break from their usual lifestyle as a Roman Catholic to see what they have been missing out on. Common reasons for taking such a holiday would be so the person could practice promiscuity, bisexuality, homosexuality, use contraception without judgement, partake in orgies, sex rites and rituals, goddess worship, experiment with illegal drugs and so forth. Similar to the Amish idea of the 'devils playground'.
I'm taking a Roman Holiday because I'm sick of being judged by all those conservative Catholics who are squares.

To partake in things that are against strict roman catholic ideals such as homosexuality, bisexuality, partying, getting drunk, ect. Usually equated to freedom in those who don't partake in the religion.
We need to have fun on a Roman Holiday.

A holiday from any actions dissaproved of by the catholic and church such as homosexual actions, polygamy, premarital sex, drugs.
My job is so strict and my parents trying to marry me off to some stuck up woman and refuse to acknowledge that I may want to marry a man or not ever get married. I just need a Roman holiday to blow of some steam with no repercussions

When you are forced to shit in a port-a-potty (such as a music festival, county fair, etc) even though you took precautionary measures.
Man 1: why does Ro.an have such a defeated look on his face?
Man 2: Well, he took 2 shits and didn't eat anything so he wouldn't have to use the port-a-potty when we got here. No luck. He's going to take a Roman Holiday.
