I'd be the guy who had his throat slit and was dumped in the Tiber because I refused to divorce my wife and enter into a political marriage that Sulla wanted me to. I'd have done it, but my wife's rear end is tight and the girl Sulla wanted me to get with looks like a burlap sack full of elbows.

Fisherman. How much would it totally own to just fish all day and sail around in some lovely little boat just off the coast of sicily or some poo poo? Yeah that would fuckin rule, you'd be bringin in fish all day because none of the stocks had been depleted yet, probably see some loving whales or whatever, maybe a corpse of squid, maybe have to fight a shark. You'd be tanned and toned up from bringing in nets all day, you'd come home to your beautiful wife with wonderful skin because she eatin fish constantly. Your children beaming up at you, teaching your son how to fish just like your dad taught you.

Id be a sea raider from Jutland, just sailing around with 20 other guys on a boat for days at a time, only stopping to burn down a villa and rape some Romano-Celts.

I'd be a tiny yet feisty Gaul who protects his tiny but feisty Gallic village with the help of a really strong dude who carries menhirs around and a druid who makes me magical potions

I'd want to be some sort of powerful senator's wife and interfere in politics by pulling the strings but probably I'd be a poor illiterate woman who died at 19 from my third child or something. Men had most of the good options I think.

I've always had a fantasy of going back to Roman times and just being a tradesman, probably a baker or something. But, I'd still retain my knowledge so I'd slowly "discover" new foods like hamburgers or popcorn, not to take the glory of inventing something delicious but just to see how people would react to eating that stuff. Does no one else have daydreams about presenting a chocolate cake, one of the most decadent foods, to equally decadent Romans and blow their minds. (Though I'm not sure how I could get a hold of chocolate)

Honestly non mining/farming slave would be pretty good spot since there was social mobility in Rome. Gladiator could be good since mortality rates were not nearly as bad as people think since the Romans weren't stupid enough to have people they spent tons of money training to die in one go. Probably a member of the 13th Legion kicking back my uncivilzed barbaric ancestors back into the Rhine to their mudhuts while we would bring proper civilization to Gaul. I mean really what was Gaul going to end up being if it weren't for Caesar conquering it?

Probably some poor latifundia farmer in Lusitania. Unless i was sold elsewhere, or killed in battl (if i even made warrior lol) or massacred due to Roman conquest. If i was of military age (i'm male) that could get me slaughtered along with some thousands others.
