As much as I love history and am involved in historical reenacting I would have to say that I would not choose anything other than the present. I like soap, indoor plumbing, cars, supermarkets, central heating and WIFI. I would have keeled over and died if I had to "rough it." I'm a spoiled, pasty soft person.

Assuming that this magical time machine would also come with the language skills needed, I'd like to spend a year in Alexandria with access to the great library prior to Caesar's conquest in 48 BCE.

I would be a well-off person in England in the Tudor times, because I play Tudor music in a tudor castle at the moment, and would love to play it and hear it played in the correct setting.

I would have like to be a rich person in Rome during the reign of Augustus, married to a person I loved.
Reason. Toilet and bathing facilities.
Little chance of arbitrary execution

However glamorous it may seem living in the past may not be at all pleasant. Imagine, without technology, internet, antibiotics ....... For me it is 2030 Brighton - with global warming !!
