If you could live during any other century...

[JRSCline]

If you could go back in time and live in any century (and this one or the last doesn't count), which one would you choose? Why?<br>
<br>
I think I'd live in a delightful little resort town outside of Rome, say during the nice quiet reign of Antoninus Pius (mid 2nd c. CE). Something Pompeiiesque, minus the volcano...<br>

Probably lateC2/earlyC1 BC Rome or maybe C6 Corinth <p>It's not a bug, it's a feature</p><i></i>

I would like to have been present at the siege of Jerusalem and the siege of Masada...on the winning side, of course! My upstairs neighbors are getting tired of my occasional flights of fantasy. They tolerated my camping out under leather in their front yard. They even let me slide when I constructed a wall of circumvallation around their house. But the earth and timber ramp and siege works was the last straw! E EM Sheesh...! <p>...or not.</p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub45.ezboard.com/bromanarmytalk.showLocalUserPublicProfile?login=thecaesariansection>The Caesarian Section</A> at: 1/27/01 4:17:58 pm<br></i>

Some people think that they have lived in past centuries.<br>
Past lives and all that...<br>
I happen to like "interesting times" so I would choose mid<br>
first century CE, or the mid 21st century CE.<br>

I would have to go with during the Peloponessian war. You have the golden age of athens and shortly after, the rise of Macedonia. <p>THERE IS NO VICTORY WITHOUT DEFEAT, AND THERE IS NO DEFEAT WITHOUT VICTORY</p><i></i>

First century AD. Post Tiberian.<br>
Ahhhh... Caligula, Clau-Claudius and who else but the Great Magnificent Nero the histrione.<br>
Now THESE were interesting times..I like Tiberius a lot. After all I was born on november 16th too. But he was not really what you'd call a funny character..<br>
I would enjoy the napoleonic era too but only if I could be a hussard of the 5th regiment..<br>
Glorious life. But short.. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p200.ezboard.com/bromanarmytalk.showUserPublicProfile?gid=antoninuslucretius@romanarmytalk>Antoninus Lucretius</A> <IMG HEIGHT=10 WIDTH=10 SRC="http://lucretius.homestead.com/files/Cesar_triste.jpg" BORDER=0> at: 6/23/04 8:14 pm<br></i>

I'd met Jesus, trying to convince him that it's maybe not such a good idea to go to Jerusalem. <p>---------------<br>
