I’ve been to Pompeii and saw some murals on still-standing walls, some depicting pleasure. Took a photo of one and it’s now framed on my living room wall. It shows three little angels playing instruments. Maybe they were playing music for those engaged in “pleasure”. Pompeii Red is a terrific color, still fairly bright on the wall.

Imagine the overdue book fees that have accumulated on these scrolls!

Wheel?
Writing?

Well, I don’t think there is a right answer perse, although some technologies might carry more weight than others.

THe purpose of the question was more of a thought exercise than anything else. It makes one stop and think, especially in regards to the story above. Rome had what it needed, only because it didn’t know perhasp that it needed anything else. I know that “doctors” of the day would wish they had the knowledge that their modern counter parts have today, but then again, some thigns were don back in teh day that would astonish todays establishment.

Now who would listen to your warnings? Human beings are the same in any era. May as well take some pictures, tourist trinkets, grab a quick bite to eat, grab some scrolls or loot the place.
