Whoa, look at you! Even back in Roman times, you would be living your best life. Though you would eventually succumb to an untreatable disease, before your untimely demise, you'd be living it up Roman style. Baths, chariot races, feasts, and good wine are all a part of your daily life in Rome. Why would you ever want to leave?

Based on our calculations, you could live in Ancient Rome for about 10 years! At first, life in Rome would be like one big party. You'd enjoy the chariot races, drink red wine, and maybe even enjoy a Roman bath or two. Unfortunately, reality would set in rather quickly, as food shortages, lack of good housing and disease would run rampant!

Okay, so life in Ancient Rome would be okay for a bit, but then you'd be clamoring to come back to 2019! Right now, you're used to all the conveniences of modern life. A comfy bed, plenty of hot food, and medicine when you're sick. Heck, even a hot shower is a reason to celebrate. But in Roman times, none of this was guaranteed or a possibility! To someone who likes comfort, you'd be running away from Rome in 5 years!

You know how to schmooze, back stab, and run with the higher ups in Roman society. You could truly make a life for yourself in this Ancient Civilization!
