Quote:so how can I be as much as a roman as I can in this world
help me out
be a reenactor
litter my home my ancinet roman rpleicas, and artifacts
sign up, and take part of any roman movie event coming up
going to musumes
living in rome
visiting ruins
watching movies
Interesting list, mine is a bit different.
1. READ BOOKS (not everything is on the internet or in movies)
2. Get involved in Sports, track and Field, fencing, swimming, or even modern sports.
3. Go to museums, always a great idea!
4. Collect a few tasteful artifacts that you enjoy. Maybe put a poster of a Roman building on your bedroom wall.
5. Visit Roman sites all over Europe.
6. Plan on a few years of military service, as an INFANTRYMAN, (Army or Marine) followed by several years in university, and then a career as a lawyer and politician. (Or become a teacher or researcher.) It's better to plan on a high end job that allows you lots of free time, so you can afford your hobby, and still have time to have a hobby.
7. If you have time and money, join a re-enactment group that is not just about public display. The main part of 'time-slipping' and 'feeling Roman' is when you are with a bunch of other people, who are all doing the same hobby, and in a place where it just feels 'right'.
What can you do today to feel more like an ancient Roman?
1. Stop using electricity.
2. Walk everywhere.
3. Stop eating meat! Allow meat in your diet only a few times a month.
4. Stop drinking soft drinks, sodas, coffee and sports drinks.
5. Stop using butter, and no bleached white bread!
6. Stop using soap, cover your body with olive oil and scrape it off, then rinse in the pool or tub.
7. Get up before sunrise, go to bed when the sun sets.
8. Throw away your watch, mobile telephone and Ipod.
9. Exercise more every day.
