    Default

    If you could travel back to Rome for a week, what would you do?

    For me:
    Visit colloceum
    explore Senate
    find the great minds of the time
    Travel as far as i could in the Empire
    write everything down

    I'd like to Visit Germania.
    Unto you I commend my justice.

    Rob a Roman bank, bury the treasure very, very deep in the middle of the alps.

    Come back to this time, dig it up, and sell it for millions.

    Ill meet up with Mithradetes the 6th, tell him Sulla's strategies, and become his right hand man.

    I'd Kill Cato by shoving the Carthaginian figs down his throat and clogging up his nostrils.

    He is going to slice open his stomach and pull out his intestines anyways. You can just leave the job to Caesar.

    My bad, I changed what I was going to write about half way through but forgot to change the title. Apologies.

    Ah you're talking about the wrong Cato my friend.

    I'm talking about Cato the elder, the one whose words had Carthage destroyed. (At this time there was no Caesar)
    This Cato died a peaceful death.


    So i'd still

    Id do something similar to deathdoom56. Id go to Antioch, warn the Seleucid King that Pompey is coming. Tell him what the Romans will do. And hope that the Seleucids win and dont fall.

    Or you could warn Antiochus the Third that he'd lose if he does not listen to Hannibal.
    Then the seleucids will rule Italy, and i wont need to kill Cato. (but i still will)

    I'd bring all kinds of neat and high-tech things with me to dazzle them. I'd also bring plenty of books and learn all of them from cover to back. That way I could be a fortune teller, a seer, and become a god as they worship me and my omniscience. I would live like a Greek god... or Roman god.

    Yeah, i'd do something similar. I'd bring guns. Lots of guns. And take over a small community, forcing them to bow to my mighty guns. After that, I'd raise the community into a bunch of gun-wielding, artillery-using, conquerers. Just for the hell of it.

    I'd first probably visit Rome, take some pictures, perhaps go be an embedded journalist with a legion and ride a horse up to the enemy and draw a map as to where they are and where their unprotected flank is. Then I'd probably set up a machine gun post before they got there, annihilate them, win the legion over by being their savior, then march on Rome.

    You know how are you going to make those high tech dealies work without electricity?

    And after you make one prediction, history is changed forever and your predicitions will be worthless.

    I'd be like Moses and Jesus, who fought the Romans with assault rifles, so they couldnt take over the Holy Land.

    You have a certain mentality, a "you vs them" and i know it is hard to see, but it is only your imagination which makes up enemies everywhere. I haven't professed anything but being neutral so why Do you feel the need to defend yourself from me?. Truly What are you defending? when there is nobody attacking?
