a merchant shopkeeper in ostia also a good place to be a historian collecting information from merchants and traders from far away lands.

That would be right.

 

But what would you sell? :lol:

 

i'd grow opium in campania and sell heroin... jk

 

i'd probably buy and sell some slaves and jewellery for the rich.

I think I might have liked the town of Massilia in Southern Gaul. It was a relativily quite place, nice weather with plenty of travellers passing through, whether they were North Africans, Greeks (the original founders) or Celts. They did have odd laws though, especially concerning women and the drinking of wine, so it's not all nice there.

Nice topic ...I'd live in the area around Eisenerz in Styria ( where my mother was born and my grandfather was a steelworker) - and where the famous Noric steel came from, and because it's far away from the slums of Rome (I'm just a poor woman with no prospects of rising in Roman society )

 

I'd like to think that thousands of years later my descendants would still be around in that area too

 

My grandfather was born in Celje in Slovenia (Celeia in Roman times) and I would like to think just maybe I have a gene or two from ancient Roman ancestors because of his ancestors travelling to Styria to work at making Noric steel ;)
