Nephele 4 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 According to my latitude game, I would wind up living just a degree below Rome. Although Pantagathus has given me the additional options of living in Conimbriga (Lusitania), Oleastrum (Hispania), and Erycinum (Sardinia). -- Nephele Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flavia Gemina 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 Alexandria! So much cleaner and better planned than Rome. The broad streets designed to catch the Etesian winds when they blow in the summer. Not one but two great libraries, one a the Museum and the 'annex' at the Serapeum. The Caesarium, the Poseidium and of course the great lighthouse on Pharos island. A large Jewish population that for the most part got on with its Greek, Roman and Egyptian neighbours. No problem with wheat shortage and plenty of Mareoticum, one of the nicest wines in the Empire. On the Nile trade route as well as the Silk Road, so lacking for no goods or food. Only problem is more of them understood Greek than Latin! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P.Clodius 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 I would have barricaded myself in the Temple of Jupiter, and issued orders to my 'friends' to arrange things according to my outlook. Occasionally I would visit the Rostra and have the crowd chant to the rhythm of my toga tugs. Also, I would prosecute any who tried to emulate me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Klingan 2 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 Well as a Centurio I guess I'd be on the move for most of the time Anyway i actually think I would have picked Pompeii if I'm allowed to miss that incident 79 A.D. It could be potentially unhealthy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

docoflove1974 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2007 Well, Alexandria does have it's incredible draws...but I'd probably either be in the lands of my (modern) ancestors: Mediolanum (aka Milan) or Genua (aka Genoa). I probably would also be found in the place in Hispania which has stolen my heart: Lucentum (aka Alicante). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ursus 6 Report post Posted October 19, 2007 Alexandria is very tempting for the culture ... though Egypt seems insufferably hot. I imagine southern Gaul and northern Italy would also be nice .... highly Romanized, wealthy, and beautiful scenery. Not too far from Rome if you have to make a business trip or sightseeing trip.
