Life was better in antiquity. I would have chosen the middle ages over antiquity because I like the idea of chivalry.personally i would rather live after the seas drank atlantis, but before the rise of the sons of aryus, in a time undreamed of, an age of High Adventure!
i could probably crush the jeweled thrones of the west beneath my sandaled feet, and wear the crown of aquilonia upon a troubled brow
1000 years ago i would either have been burned at the stake or come to dominate some country by the sword.
I would give my left nut to be able to go back in time and participate in the first crusade.
I would have to at least be an Earl or Count, if not a Duke or King.
But yes, if i could go back I'd want to bring an AK 47, and lots of ammo. And modern body armor. I'd be a king in no time.
