If you could travel back in time to ancient Rome, how would you get ready? Watch this video for a (hypothetically) practical guide.
Those interested in exploring ancient Rome might want to check out my book “Naked Statues, Fat Gladiators, and War Elephants: Frequently Asked Questions about the Ancient Greeks and Romans."

3:04 - My "planned" hypothetical time travel persona has always been that I would claim to be a foreign scribe's apprentice whose master died suddenly while we were traveling abroad to simultaneously explain my poor understanding of local dialects but still demonstrate that I can write and do math and hopefully I would live long enough that I'd maybe be able to build an aeolipile or some other kind of steam powered demonstrator and hopefully establish myself as an inventor...

I'm African-American and when I daydream about time-traveling my first destination would be Ancient Rome because it was so multicultural I figured I wouldn't stand out TOO much. Good tip taking spices for money; never thought of that! I'd also take a handle of vodka for drinking and disinfecting. And a QP of Sativa. I'd travel to around 200AD to see the colesseum in all it's glory. A rich patron to get me a good seat at the games would be great too.

Why not go to somewhere in Africa? I'm African so if I had a time machine I'd visit my ancestors firstly. Then I'd travel way back before the Bantu expansions and learn proto-bantu, that would be cool. If I had time then I'd visit Judea during the time of Jesus and (with camera in hand) debunk all of that mythological nonsense that has, unfortunately, infected my culture. Ancient Egypt during the time of the pyramid builders would be cool too. Finally put to rest all the theories of how they built the pyramids. Also, as an aside, multiculturalism is not the same as multi-racialism. A multicultural society doesn't have to be multi-racial and most of them haven't been. Rome, from what I understand, was multicultural but not multiracial so you'd stand out for sure.

I mean even with everything going on almost anywhere in the world today is still safer than most of the world was historically, mostly because the big killers like disease have largely been addressed. However just like the Romans percieved their own time as being a relatively safe and peaceful one but we today see it as dangerous people in the future might scoff at the dangers we today take for granted. One thing I bet will sound insane in the future is the high number of traffic deaths and future time travelers might prefer to stick to relatively pedestrianized areas. Of course another big question is what exactly would time travelers find interesting and impressive about this period, would they see the internet similarly to how we see the Roman road system? Would they find skyscrapers or the LHC more interesting?

I loved the theme of the series and the other videos, you got another subscriber! About taking spices as a form of currency, it might be easier to pay a craftsman (while still at the present) to reproduce the metal coins since it would be necessary to bargain and sell the spice, something risky to do without the tricks of the streets and markets of Rome.

Thank you, and welcome aboard! And yes, spices would be a very flexible and useful currency.

I’m just imagining accidentally wearing Timbs to Ancient Rome and having a Roman citizen gesture towards them and utter “what are those?”

Hey man, I've been studying about ancient rome for months now, reading every book, and watching every documentary I can find about Anicent Rome (specifically trying to glean what life for the ordinary person was like) and I have to say this video was actually one of the better ones in terms of information I thought. It was a fun and informative video (ill be following the other ones now). Great job dude, loved watching it.

To be honest, it would probably be very easy to counterfeit Roman coins considering they didn't have the protections against it that modern currency does
