Imagine you are a Roman in the year 264 BCE (the year of the 1st Punic War). What does your future look like? Then, look at the world around you today. What does your future look like? Think about politics, technology, culture, dominance, balance.
If I were a Roman in the year 264 BCE my future may not be as bright as it could be. If I were a girl I would have to help the soldiers and help run the house. If I were a boy I would be suiting up for war and fighting for my country. There is a lot of technology for its time and a lot of culture. In today’s world, we have much farther advanced technology and a democracy. Most teenagers do not have to deal with the troubles teenagers faced in the year 264 BCE. We have faster ways of communication and transportation.
