I'd be That Slightly Chubby Barbarian With Really Nice Teeth and gently caress a bunch of women, and then when i'm nearly dead from syphilis I'd go to the mathematicians and show them arabic numerals and base 10 notation. I'd do this when I'm already dying so it doesn't really matter if they murder me for heresy by introducing the concept of 0.

Is base 10 be the best because it is, or should we go base 16? Would being base-16 make the eventual use of binary for computers easier in a few thousand years?

You also have the ability to start naming new digits after yourself so you live on forever. 0-9, we keep 'ten', eleven', 'twelve' as the names for the values represented by A, B, and C, then we refer to D(13) as a "Liqui", E(14) as 'Iddi', and F(15) as "Nosur"

uh you have to have capitalism first

although you could argue that the plebian Homines Novi came to power in part because their ability to accumulate wealth through commerce outstripped the ability of Patricians to sustain their wealth through land holdings and conquest (since they were traditionally enjoined from commerce). this in a sense represents a shift in power to a Roman bourgeoisie, so perhaps with industrialization they would have indeed proceeded directly into a capitalist mode of production, though of course the Patronage system would have complicated this in the sense of social relations
