What would you do if you woke up in the middle of the Roman Empire 1900 years ago with only your current knowledge and a modern English-ancient Latin translation book?

Introduce them to basic hygiene. Draw some maps. Be enslaved probably.

Get rich with slave trading and then fund this invention en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeolipile

Establish Islam instead of Christianity.

I thought about this.

I suppose there was no any Islam 1900 years ago.

Die of ancient diseases, get robbed, killed, enslaved, die of hunger, exposure, jailed etc. most likely scenarios for anyone on Sup Forums

I'll tell them about Huns. And I'll try to speak to Sclaveni in Slavic. Then I'll go to Scytho-Sarmatians and I'll make sure who they are(Iranian tribes or what?). During the trip I will write linguistic notes if I survive.

"Invent" the steam engine and gunpowder, try to get the emperor advisor gig.

Also kill the entire world population with my germs from the future and super bacterias.

It's unlikely. Besides, I'm Mongoloid. But I wanna see Scytho-Sarmatians IRL.

Write books and find a nearest court to fund research. You wouldn't believe what basic knowledge of our times would be worth back then.

Even something as basic as anatomy would be a breakthrough.

Infect everyone with disease and die

a English-ancient Latin translation book would be useless, you'd need to speak vulgar latin, so basically something that looks like Italian or French, could be easy to learn it.

I will learn Latin, pick a sword, join the Roman legions as a soldier, fuck cute barbarian girls, and if I make it out alive to pension, go to my villa with a piece of land that I earned for my years of service.

Basically I will enjoy the simplicity of leading a natural life in that age and I will not even give a fuck about all my modern knowledge, nor would I try to spoil the world wit it.

Get a contract that will grant me mining rights for central Germany
Guide a roman auxilliary to the Rammelsberg mine in central Germany
Become the main supplier of silver, tin, lead and copper in all of Rome
Roman settlement in central Germany will pay for itself, giving them incentive to fortify their border at the Elbe river instead of the Rhine

Seriously, Rammelsberg mine was huge. It provided all of German copper from the 11th century until the 1950s and tin until 1980s. Silver, which was only a byproduct, was more then 30 million tons.

>Invent the smock windmill
>Explain how fertilization with NOx works
>Built a crude steam powered pump
Rome now has sufficient labor and food production in it's northern regions, preventing the power shift towards the east

>Explain how fertilization with NOx works
>Built a crude steam powered pump
But there wasn't really an incentive to create steam engine when you can be more efficient with slaves and you dosen't have to worry about a slave exploding.
Also i think crop rotation would be a better thing to show.

>not just leading barbarian revolts
Baka

There was a need. Rome had labor shortages beginning in the 2nd century.

Germany is not the sucessor of the Barbarians. That's an easy mistake when you have no real difference between Germanic and German people in your language.

I'd be fine because I'm Romanian, thus civis romanus sum.

7th century slavbro

I think I could make it in Rome, seeing as Im learning Latin, so I get the grammar and have a latin translation book. Main problem is that I am asian, so it would be pretty weird.

I think I would be a merchant, and gain wealth by discovering and trading with places that Rome didnt know about such as West Africa or China. After I accumulate enough money, Id try launching a big expedition going to Iceland, than Greenland than America.

In terms of discoveries/technologies, Romans would know a lot more of the world, definitely simple technologies such as food sterilisation, pasteurisation, hot air balloons, hourglasses, zero and probably steam power and gunpowder.

Britannia, Germania was conquered by Spanish legionnaires

Travel to Dacia and kick the romans out after telling my ancestors that fighting shirtless while holding a two handed weapon against Legionnaires is not a solid tactic.

Who cares?

They would think I was a barbarian and I would be sold into slavery

Not to you...Sudaka fucking son

Sudaka with Spanish flag ... pathetic

Best emperor was also from Spain.

Yes...

I speak Greek so I would be a Patrician

Go straight for the emperor, using a masterfully crafted book where all letters are perfectly identical as proof of my divine origin. If I have my stuff on, like clothes and a watch, then show those too. Then instruct the emperor to gather all the scholars of the world to Rome in order to found my own academy and accelerate scientific and technological progress while preparing in advance for the rise of barbarian hordes from the East and North.

Why don't you learn the ins and outs of the modern world and then work hard, do a Ponzi scheme and build yourself a mini palace with hired pornstars?

I'd invent hydraulics and learn Latin ASAP.

Industrial revolution 1600 years earlier. Imagine where we'd be now.

>all of these engineers

wow, boringggggggg. I myself would flit around the empire just taking in the sights, as 116 AD was near the very height of Roman civilization, with titanic marble friezes, richly adorned temples and nymphaea gracing even remote provincial towns, not to talk of the many paintings and idols on wood that are now lost forever. They even had tinned food and the bikini in that golden era.

I'd draw a sloop.
