    Assuming I could go back at some point, ancient Rome in its heyday would be a sight to see. I’d love to go sightseeing to almost any ancient civilization really. At least the ones where I wouldn’t immediately get killed.

      Nice trip. And why the ‘immediately get killed’?

        I guess I was thinking about civilizations that practiced human sacrifice (e.g. in Mesoamerica) and generally civilizations where outsiders were not welcome (e.g. Edo-era Japan).
