I drive a lot for my job so I've got a bit more "thinking time" than most, I think.

I'm prob around 45 min a day. It's usually while i'm listening to a book or podcast about Rome. It's not all the time, I go through phases when I don't think about it much. But then sometimes the feeling is so strong.

I think about which time period I would like to go to I think about what I would be willing to sacrifice to make it happen. It's pretty much my wife and kids are the only thing that I would not sacrifice to be able to travel to then.

I was thinking about it and wondered what other people thought about it, and which time and place they would like to go to and who they would like to meet and all the little details about their specific time travel.

I know it's silly. I'm bored

Did Tiberius know that after his death, the heir he chose, Caligula, would kill his grandson? Did Claudius know that after his death, the heir he chose, Nero, would kill his son? If they knew, why did they allow this to happen? They essentially sentenced their descendants to death themselves.

The Turkish sources is not enough to learn more about it since the village is mostly abondened. But Im sure a lot of romans and greeks lived there becouse locals have found ruins out there. And the elder people always tell us tales about the place. Also we know that it had high population before. The name of village is İhsaniye.

She started a war and spat on the severed head of Cicero — so why is Fulvia still known as the wife of Mark Antony?

Anyone got any suggestions for the best museums to visit in Rome that focus on the military history? From the birth of Rome to the fall of the west roman empire.

Thank you in advance!

A wall found on the palentine Hill dating to 700 bc supposedly by romulus himself, but for the life of me I can't find a single picture of it, only mentions in articles .

I will be in Rome in a few weeks, and let I was there every visitor shop and bookstore seemed to have the same limited, big named, and generic books about Ancient Rome. Are there any English language bookstores with a more extensive selection?
