I would most like to live in the early 17th century (the 1600's). my art history teacher described Rome at this time as being a decrepit hell-hole, rife with criminals and prostitutes and urban wildfires. sounds exciting! baroque architecture would just be taking off (bonus), and I could possibly get to hang out with Caravaggio (cross my heart).
the only downside I see here is that there is no Kate Bush or Sonic Youth in the 1600's, but at least I could jam with Claudio Monteverdi. what sayeth youse? |

I wouldn't want to live in Rome, in any century. Just the opinion of the rasta people, that's all.

I've always wanted to live in that period of Rome, or around the Renaissance.
Anicent Greece sounds pretty cool. I'm sort of obsessed with The Iliad right now. Maybe England or France around the 500s. The Dark Ages are fascinating.

if I were to keep 20th knowledge, I'd go somewhere in 17th century - or 5bc- and make extraordinary achievements in every possible field of human activity from music to physics to phychology to politics, ex nihilo creating and single-handedly surpassing entire eras from chromatism to atonality to abstract art to quantum theory to socialism and equality, the solar system renamed to Solar System Saoq (SSS01), statues errected in every major city of this planet, and I will get pussy.-

Reading a newspaper article about Oliver Cromwell in 1999 (400th anniversary of his birth) inspired me to read a biography of the man. Apart from turning me into a serious Cromwell student, I was drawn into the whole history of the time, it's poetry and politics etc, so I would have to choose 17th century .

We had to do this in class today. We had to pick between the Middle Ages, Baroque and Renissance. I choose Renissance, but Barouqe wouldn't be bad.
I don't know enough about each period to really make a concious choice. |

I'm quite happy where I am, thanks for asking. Can't really be bothered with all the dysentry that other countries and times have.

probably the sixties, i feel i missed out on a lot being born in 1990. there is not too much special about pre-twentieth century, you can get hookers just as easily now. plus back then there was an abundance of torture, sedition, and capitol punishment.
