Would life as a patrician in ancient Rome be comfortable for a middle class person today?

Would life as a patrician in ancient Rome be comfortable for a middle class person today?

No because there are no computers to shitpost with

No. MIddle class people or even anyone today cannot be left to their own devices without going mad.

That means they cannot do nothing and remain sane.

Ask anyone who has worked their entire lives how they feel about vacations that are 'too long'.

It would be hell.

You didn't need computers to shitpost when you had walls of political graffiti nearing the forum.

You kids don't realize what you missed out, we had one helluva fun time there.

It wouldn't be as comfortable but it would be way more luxurious.

Romans invented shitposting

read a book faggot

weren't like 80% of people born within the roman empire slaves?
that's even worse than your chances of being born white.

most slaves weren't anything more than semi-independent serfs, debtors and trained employees though. Being a slave in Rome was not inherently a bad life, in fact, many slaves lived better than the poorest free men.

slavery wasn't an absolute condition, you could sell yourself to slavery for a few years to forfeit a debt, and be free again once you were done.

Patricians in Rome pretty much lived in the fucking dirt

They were never clean, and practically lived in shitholes, sure they may have had a few slaves, but they (the Patricians) would die at about 25 on average and caught diseases all the time

Also they didn't have things like Ice Cream

>They were never clean

What? Romans spent half their fucking day laying around in bath houses

Yeah in dirty water

Face it, they lived the lifestyle of a third worlder today

If a poor person from USA went there back in time, they'd be viewed as a God

>In dirty water

Source?

It's common fucking sense.

They didn't even have ice cream.

>people still shilling the 30 year average lifespan of anybody before modernity without knowing what infant mortality does to the numbers

>It's common sense

>The Baths of Caracalla, the second largest baths complex in ancient Rome, were built between 212 and 219 A.D. by the emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, better known by his nickname Caracalla. By the 3rd century A.D. the Romans had built many baths, in Rome and elsewhere, and had acquired great skill in designing functional, fully integrated complexes. The water supply and drainage system, in particular, required careful planning to ensure an adequate flow to and from the numerous hot and cold basins: it has been calculated that the baths used 15-20,000 cubic meters of water per day.

>The baths were fed by a branch of the Aqua Marcia aqueduct, which brought pure water to Rome from springs in the hills near Subiaco, over 90 km away. The water flowed into a huge cistern, divided into 18 separate chambers for easy maintenance and with a total capacity of 10,000 cu. m. From here it went by gravity flow through pipes underneath the gardens to the main building.Inside the main building a complicated distribution system carried the water directly to the cold pools or to boilers over wood fires where it was heated for the warm and hot baths.

>Outlets from each basin and in the floor of each room led to the drains, which ran below the level of the distribution pipes and took the waste water to the municipal drain in the valley. Both distribution and drainage pipes were housed in tunnels providing easy access for inspection and maintenance


>The bathwater was both heated and drained away to make way for fresh water

???

Be that as it may. They still had dirty water and no ice cream.

fuck off retard

No anime and vidya, so no. No piracy either, so you had to pay per view for your entertainment.

You could still make your waifu from sculpting though. And from slavery.

What the fuck is up with you & Ice Cream?

Doesn't that only apply to one kind of averaging, though?

Wow thats pretty amazing, was that available to everyone in the public?

id be a general in the army maybe even do some fighting myself id eat fuck drink and smoke as much as i wanted and life would be fucking swell and in return the empires borders would be likewise

>And from slavery
Lel
>Lucia, wear this tonight and pretend to be 12.

>Smoke

Being a slave was pretty good in comparison to the poverty that free men were subject to. Shit, don't even get me started on being a landowner-soldier after his service.

yeah nigger cush id smoke the enmies strain know thy enemy and fucking crush them then impregnate through rape every woman on their continent of africa/india/asia and then rape their (our) daughters too just so the genes got a headstart
