if you lived in Acient Rome what would you do?
Re: if you where in Rome
At one point, almost half of the population were slaves. Assuming my luck didn't hold & I fell in with that lot, I'm guessing whatever I was told to or take a good whipping.

Use my knowledge of chemistry and physics to astound the plebs, become a revered person, et cetera, get money from it, a villa, slaves, kill the Imperator and take his job... The usual...

Re: if you where in Rome
Yes, I would change history and impart all modern day knowledge to the Romans.
Then I would go down in history as the cleverest man ever...
Well I will anyway, but back then it would be whole lot less effort.
Re: if you where in Rome
I would do everything, yes, everything, just to be a well rounded person.

Re: if you where in Rome
Hmmm, 6 people have voted that they would join the army, yet only 2 have specified that they would kill. Those that voted "army" but not "kill", what do you plan to do in the army if not kill people?

Re: if you where in Rome
And incredibly annoying.
I was trying to translate.
Re: if you where in Rome
Wow! Think of how terrible ti must be for the people who aren't native English speakers, they woudl really have a hard time with that... oh well, if other people can write in their first language, I can write without vowels...
um, all of the vowel keys on my keyboard are broken! Yes, that must be it...

Re: if you where in Rome
I would run off to greece, and teach them how to build guns and cannons. Then I would come to rome and conquer it. Then crown myself the second great to come from greece.

Re: if you where in Rome
I voted for "loot". I figure that the only way I'd be in Rome (the ancient kind, anyway) would be if I was looting it.
Re: if you where in Rome
well i would be a massive hedonist like most roman aristocrats, its called 24 hour partying.

Re: if you where in Rome
I'm with Dessa here. A nice orgy every day would be heavenly, even better then the Christian heaven IMO. What would be even better is to also kill the undesirables for fun. That's the life.
Re: if you where in Rome
kill the undesirables..., oh i don't wanna kill them, i wanna kill the desirables.
especially those horrible democratic tribunes.
i think orgies would get very boring soon, but drinking and eating never gets boring oh and masses of opiates and drugs availiable life would be sweet.
thanks,

Re: if you where in Rome
Dessa orgies are not just sex. Heavy drinking and drug use in mass is also an orgy. So an orgy of each for each day. I think that covers what want.
Oh and sex orgies don't get boring to me.

Took the words right out of my mouth!!Dessa orgies are not just sex. Heavy drinking and drug use in mass is also an orgy. So an orgy of each for each day. I think that covers what want.

If no orgies, then join the army and build roads.

Re: if you where in Rome
Joined the army and killed some Gauls.

Bravery is not to never feel the fear.

But to hold the line anyway.
Re: if you where in Rome
umm, the last thing i would do in rome was join the army, they'd send you off to some S*&thole in the middle of nowhere and you'd have to rough it or die.

Re: if you where in Rome
i am happy to that you guys are interested in my post
Re: if you where in Rome
yep, this must be the first thread you have started that did not end in a discussion about your spaming
Re: if you where in Rome
And please don't turn it into that sort of discussion mongoose.
I think this is a pretty good poll. I think it's quite interesting how people would join the army over anything else.
Re: if you where in Rome
Take all my chemistry books and sell the Romans gunpowder.
Re: if you where in Rome
I chose to be a historian because unlike thosse who join the army, who wont be remembered(unless they become Gens)
I as a historian would go down in HIstory being quoted by people for 1000s of years
