Perhaps any late year... 200-400 , the glorious past reminding the decadence in every place or Rome...

I think I would like to go back to the Republican era during the Epirote wars and see Rome's gradual ascendence to the number one contender of the ancient world. I would love to be able to travel through that era to see Roman, Latin, Samnite and Carthaginian culture as well as greek and celtic. It would be an interesting and diverse era I think full of cultural exchange and excitement. I would love to see how the might and decadence of imperial Rome was like during the julio-claudians era, but I think the era of Pyrrhus and the Punic wars would be something to see. Not for the violence but for the spectrum of cultures and take a peak into cultures I'd never get a chance to see firsthand.

Yes Antiquity is horrible but then modern too :wink:

Would like to be between the beginning of Genesis from the line of Set, or one of the Pioneers after Noah's flood.

If there was a war on, and an even chance of getting some honour and loot, count me in. Have to admit, I wouldn't mind the Punic Wars(except Cannae Tongue ), nor the time of the conquest of Gaul.

Pompeii before the eruption. I would have to remeber to go on vacation in August though, But 1920's Chicago would be nice too.
