The only thing I'd fear is that modern life in big cities would make Rome seem small in comparison.Carrie Clevengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05093923008179106837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8246183.post-25265247820273604002009-07-02T15:31:04.406+01:002009-07-02T15:31:04.406+01:00I have a sister who loves Roman Mysterys and it is...I have a sister who loves Roman Mysterys and it is good to see the person who wrote them's blog.Alexander Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05231126430948751052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8246183.post-83533976849807946632009-06-15T13:54:45.761+01:002009-06-15T13:54:45.761+01:00I like your specification for a time machine - esp...I like your specification for a time machine - especially the bit about being invisible and untouchable! The idea that Roman cities would have been noisier, smellier, brighter and above all livelier than some sanitised Hollywood versions simply makes them more interesting. Aside from Rome itself, where else would you head for in your time machine? I'd go for first-century Alexandria I think.Jane Finnishttp://www.janefinnis.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8246183.post-53580015578202137712009-06-14T19:53:39.622+01:002009-06-14T19:53:39.622+01:00LOL.

Presumably you mean this bit is like NY? <br /><br /><i>This was a dimly-lit, colourful, sweaty, perverted place of jewel-coloured mini-tunics, smoky night-time scenes, boy-love, casual violence, cheap human life, the disabled and the disfigured.

The music was strange and discordant, the language a strange babble.</i>Caroline Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07249424644829463560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8246183.post-47140840267579481642009-06-14T19:23:10.897+01:002009-06-14T19:23:10.897+01:00Sounds a bit like New York City (I say this as a N...Sounds a bit like New York City (I say this as a New Yorker).
