seeing as i'm 28 and the life expectancy was around 25-30 due to the constant battles + high infant mortality, I'd probably be dead.

so i don' think i would've had a job op, it's time you started considering the less fortunate.

I hope you like men because you probably won't have any choice in the matter.

Marcus Licinius Crassus: Do you eat oysters?
Antoninus: When I have them, master.
Marcus Licinius Crassus: Do you eat snails?
Antoninus: No, master.
Marcus Licinius Crassus: Do you consider the eating of oysters to be moral and the eating of snails to be immoral?
Antoninus: No, master.
Marcus Licinius Crassus: Of course not. It is all a matter of taste, isn't it?
Antoninus: Yes, master.
Marcus Licinius Crassus: And taste is not the same as appetite, and therefore not a question of morals.
Antoninus: It could be argued so, master.
Marcus Licinius Crassus: My robe, Antoninus. My taste includes both snails and oysters.

Romans were the fat midwesterners of the olden days, they had a huge amount of cultural pride around how boring their food was and smothered it all in the ancient world equivalent of ketchup.
