If you were sent back to the roman era and could only bring a backpack of goods. What would you bring?

    A (tape) camera to document how I obliterate the roman empire by spreading pathogens that have yet to evolve but I have developed immunity for.

    And something like a time capsule to burry the camera in.

      Keep in mind that there were of plenty of pathogens back then that you aren’t immune to now. A good example is smallpox

      Dont want to be that guy, but the platic softeners inside the tape will most likely evalporate, causing the tape to break up und cruble to dust as soon as you try to play it. The magnetic orientation of the bits will also degarde. Manufacturers give an expected shelf life of 30 years for any magnetic storage medium.

        Yeah I was aware of the bits that’s why I said tape. I know there’s some kind of tape they use for long term data storage so that’s why I said tape. There has to be some way to store it that long…

      I don’t think you would survive either. People wasn’t stupid back then and you’d probably quickly get fridged for being a walking curse.
