would you travel around the ancient world?
would it have been too easy to get bullied?

Yes they would pull your underwear over your head and throw you in the river for sport while pointing and laughing.

When everyone was 5'5 and malnourished? I think I'd be ok
>>1843849
Except they have weapons and the mindset to use it without remorse.
A 5'5 guy with a bow/arrow will be stronger than a body builder 9'11 2000 LB guy.

Most people were extremely xenophobic for most of history.
Real talk: how hard would it be to Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court ancient Rome? Would pre or post Republic be easier?
How welcomed would you be if you travelled around ancient greece with a wagon full of modern technology and literature? Would they throw you out for witchcraft? Would you be flogged for being a foreigner? Would athenian child slaves throw rocks at you as you demonstrated the concept of a mathematical function to curious onlookers?

Xenophobia came when widespread knowledge of foreign destruction and hideosity came about.
If you were a Jap or Chinese and arrived in Rome, you wouldnt see "extreme xenophobia" but rather curiosity.

Unless you you're a /fit/ /his/ and know martial arts at least be realistic about how hard your shit could get pushed in

Well yeah maybe a giant city like Rome, but the vast majority of the populace lived in small insolar rural communities that didn't enjoy the company of people who didn't belong their. I doubt it had much to do with race and much more to do with the lack of trust of outsiders. These people would the city folk from Rome also.

yeah I'd travel...but with a bunch of my mates.

Read After Darkness Falls. Only the late Empire would allow you to not immediately be stabbed, and still you'd probably be bludgeoned like Boethius
>>1843721
yeah...think my goal would to be a merchant captain.

Fuck, if I'm 10' tall, weigh a literal ton, and am still ambulatory, he better go get a ballista if he wants to fuck with me.
I can't imagine you'd be able to go much anywhere with your comfy modern clothes without getting held at knifepoint and stripped naked.
also unless you are ugly you'd probably get raped due to being a clean nice smelling dainty fairy compared to basically everyone else around you.

>expecting me to read
Read or don't, but don't make a faggot ass post about how your not going to read.
>your blog
It's not mine
>Wise up
You could if you bothered to stop being a complaining bitch ass pussy and potentially if you read

>After Darkness Falls
This gives like a dozen search results and none seem to have anything to do with Rome.
>>1843849
>5'5 and malnourished
when will this meme die?

Probably not, i mean you'd certainly get weird stares if you were dressed in our modern clothing.
But you'd probably get mugged on the road. So i would suggest being armed.
