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.

Also being black, standing out is what I like. Imagine being the first black person encountered by a culture.

I know this is optimistic, but I think it would be neat.

[@mugikuyu9403]

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?

@@awaxx7863 Christmas has always been celebrated by Christians and while they may have absorbed the idea from the pagan society they lived in, it wasn't “stolen” in any way and more so a product of the society they lived in. Same as how many atheists and non-Christians in the west still celebrate Christmas or something around that time of year just because that's the cultural norm where they live. However what did change was how important Christmas was, originally Easter was by far the most important Christian celebration but as the religion gradually spread north Christmas became more emphasized.

There's an English historian who's doing a series called 'The Time Travelers Guide to...' with books out on the medieval, Elizabethan, restoration, and regency periods. They're very good and I'd suggest taking a look at how he structures his chapters. Really looking forward to this series because I think there's a gap to exploit in this kind of literature (not familiar with any other 'time traveler' for the ancient period). Would you feel competent to do a similar guide to classical Athens?

[@toldinstone]

I flipped through the Time Traveler's Guide to Medieval England once in a used bookstore, and found it very engaging. There are a few books along the same lines about Ancient Rome - my favorite is Philip Matyszak's Rome on 5 Denarii a day - though I don't know of any that use the time travel approach. I will certainly finish this series, but I'll only be able to justify doing a complementary one on Classical Athens (which would be a lot of fun) if the Rome series is well-received.
