Genuinely why live?
idk desu senpai. maybe you should just kill yourself and you'll be reborn as a roman patrician
>>854254
maybe I should desu
or I could wait for tensions from ISIS and the migrant crisis to rise and try to start a revolution, mould society in the image of rome after the fighting
>>854291
isn't ISIS trying to bring about an end times prophecy by fighting the army of Rome at some city in the middle east
>>854394
I didn't know that
>it's destiny
>mfw
>>854403
shall we reestablish the empire, reform the legions, and take back Mesopotamia and the Levant Imperator.
>>854410
We shall, prepare to rally the men, we crush the germanic tribes from within.
>>854424
The Germanic tribes are already within the borders of the empire and for the most part assimilated but they're pacified
>romeboos
>>854442
What can I say
I'm sicillian
>>854442
Yes we did go there barbarian if you have a problem you may leave.
>>854394
And by Rome the muslims mean Byzantines aka the Greeks
Loan us money please

>>854238
>a priest of jupiter
Why would you want to be one? They had to live stupidly strict lifes because of all the laws the position implied. Much better be a priest of Mars or Apollo. Depending on where you lived, Diana too (long as it wasn't the sacred wood pretty much).
>>854691
Puerto Rico isn't a state
>>854716
>slave is on the list and priest of jupiter is what you question
>>854731
could be some high ranking persons slave so that might not be so bad
>>854731
You now realize that plenty of slaves lived better lifes than half the people on that list. What was the name of that slave librarian whose mother tried to buy his freedom but he refused because his job was wayyy more comfy than anything he could score as a freedman?
>>854629
That's what muslims thought
>You will never follow Alexander to the end of the world
>>854716
>Priest of Mars
>Priest of Apollo
>Priest of Jupiter
Why bother with the boring gods when you can run off to greece, seduce some meniads, and get inducted into the cult of bacchus?
>>854794
>implying the average 4chan autist would prefer a life of drunken orgies to living quietly and comfy in a rural paradise doing nothing but take care of a temple and mumble some words at ceremonies
Literally the only shit part would be to stick my hands into an animal's guts or blood, but eh I can deal.

You will never weep with your brothers to see him carried off on a slab, a corpse ravaged by fever, brought low too soon. So be happy about that.
>>854291
Im down
>>854438
Only like a couple tribes were assimilated and even then the Visigoths and vandals straight rekt the west part.
Thanks to my hero arminius
>why live?
To build a greater empire.
>>854238
You will also never be a Roman slave, a pleb fucked over by street gangs and politicians, a barbarian raided and killed/enslaved, a criminal sentenced to an unusual and painful death in the arena, etc.
>>854775
>Not being Alexanders childhood friend.
>Not being somatophylakes
>Not witnessing his greatness and his madness.

To reestablish it
>>866782
I have actually done that exact thing in a private setting. Doesn't that mean I'm a prince of some sort?

>>866848
Well, the USA could in some ways be considered an attempt at a third rome, but rather than being founded by empireaboos it was founded by far superior republaboos.
Once again showing the superority of the republic and proving tha Ceaser was a populist faggot who damned rome to die through his actions.

>you will never fight off a sea of men trying to relieve a fortress as your brilliant general conducts a flawless siege at Alesia
>you will never be the brave soul holding the aquila that hops off the ships to set foot on Britannia, forcing your comrades to follow for fear of losing the golden eagle of Rome
>you will never bitterly fight your own kinsmen in a cacophony of banging shields and sparking gladii in when Caesar crosses the Rubicon
>you will never sneer at the imitation legionaries in the Seleucid Empire and finish off the weak and petty successor kingdoms of Alexander and be one of the many men that carried Rome's legacy to even greater heights
>you will never punish the Parthians into subservience in revenge for Crassus's blunder at Carrhae
>you will never follow Trajan into Dacia and bring the Dacians to their knees in fealty and bring Rome to her greatest extent
>you will never feel unease as Rome is abandoned, Mediolanum becomes the new capital, and the empire is split into two administrative sections
>you will never look on helplessly as the Western Empire falls into chaos, lost to the dirty barbarians
>you will never grieve at the loss of Majorian, the last Western Roman Emperor that dared dream of bringing the Western Empire back to glory and came so close before a cowardly cur stabbed him in the back
>you will never share Constantine the Great's visions and win the day at the Milvian Bridge in a deadly clash of sword
>you will never secure peace in the east with the treacherous Sassanids under the brilliant Belisarius at the battle of Dara

What's good about not being the ruler of the greatest and the most glorious empire ever?

But if reincarnation were true, wouldn't you want to thrive in a society that accepted it? Mmm maybe not I guess
