If you could go back to ancient Greece or Rome, what could you offer them? [I Like History]

You can't bring technology or any possessions with you. Assume that you magically have learned to be fluent in the language, and you simply show up, dressed in appropriate clothing.

You do not suddenly get to be emperor. You are just a citizen.

I could probably tell them about hygiene, and the importance of washing bowls and pots with soap, rather than just scraping them off. People did not know about microbes back then.

I have been watching Netflix - The Roman Empire.

I think I'd make haste to somewhere in the boondocks. It was pretty easy to get dead in ancient Rome.

I could make them some cheese on toast or something I guess.

Rome. I would jump the gun and start the Italian mafia myself and be known as the true founder of La Cosa Nostra.

Well, I'd [/b] [i] like[/i] to teach them about electricity, but I'm not sure it could timplemented. I'd probably teacher them optics, but even that would be a lot of trial and error
