I would love to be an ancient Roman, in theory and in my little dreamworld. lol Where I'm also the Empress of the world and everyone bows down to me. lol Sorry couldn't help myself.
But I'd imagine myself in the real life Roman world, I could be married off to someone of my father's choice. And then that man will have life and death over me, and any children that I may produce. Also being around solely for reproducing is not my cup of tea. Plus he can legally beat me up! Arrgh!
Or I could be a slave.... certainly not my glass of coke. -shakes head- Not at all
Then I could be a female gladiator, the fighting does sound good and all. But the whole training and being treated like an animal, really just doesn't cut it.
I've watched at the medieval display in Doonside, there were men running around with chain mail for long periods and I thought one of them was going to have a heart attack. Its alot harder than it looks, its the same with horse riding.. especially when you're trying to do dressage where its supposed to look like you're not doing anything at all! lol
