The Greek Empire or the Roman Empire 

I am fascinated with both the Greek and Roman Empires and I cannot decide which one I would to have lived in. Would I like to hang out with the Philosophers of the Greek Empire or the Great Commanders of the the Roman Empire. Both are so fascinating and it would be very interesting to live in either time period, one thing for sure, I would need to be born into royalty. If you are not in the upper class then you are a slave, worker, or soldier, but if you are in the upper class then you have a life of luxury. You have servants, fountains, food, and education. 

It seems to me that the Greek Empire would be the better of the two because of the education and artistry that was being created at the time - the "Golden Age", while the Roman Empire was more about conquest and territory.  The Romans did however construct some really cool building and completed some vast beautiful buildings and infrastructure; you just do not want to be part of the crew building. The Greeks were a feisty group and loved their separate republics, so there was a lot of turmoil. 

My final decision is - I am happy where I landed in the history books.
