When an early Roman was going down an early Roman road, and he didn't have a radio or cell phone, what did he do to pass the time? Or had boredom not been invented yet?  Posted by Hello

Top ten list:

10.) hoping his teeth would rot out so they would stop crashing together on these damned Roman cobbles.

9.) developing specialized isometric exercises to build strong forearms for sword-swinging and javelin hurling

8.) watching over his shoulder for items that bounced out the back of the chariot.

7.) watching out for Carthaginians.

6.) the glory of Ceasar.

5.) his wife.

4.) his mistress.

3.) his slaves and what they were up to.

2.) the aquaduct.

1.) When -was- the last time he fed these horses?

No, these are Romans we're talking about, not Greeks! Sheesh!
