    There was an article recently saying Boudicca is unlikely to have been real.

    So good news! The spot is up for grabs! To anyone interested, enjoy becoming the legend.

      Realistically, no matter where you went, you would be bringing so many diseases that nobody would have immunity to. Instead of bringing them protection from small pox, you would just bring them Covid.

        Can always plan one of those sealed hazard suits in to the trip, though that might make being trusted a lot more difficult if you go anywhere that doesn’t have a functional germ theory…

    I’m a dude and I’d probably visit my grandmas /grandparents too, assuming I can use it more than once. Or even go way back and amaze my cave dwelling ancestor with a lighter or so.

        And since they hadn’t figured out how to do fermentation yet, they would very likely all be super lightweights! You’d have a great time with the tribe for the price of two cases of cheap swill.

        Unless they understand at least as well as birds that spoiled fruits will get you drunk… fuck, now I have things to think about…

      I’d use it to go back in time to see epic concerts. Number one on my list is Jimi Hendrix at the Fillmore East, New Year’s Eve 1969.

    Wouldn’t it be better to go back a little further back in time, and give the weapons before the flogging and rapes?

    I’m surprised that there isn’t one featuring a non-european queen instead of usually European (I’ve seen ones for Theodora, Catherine, Joan, now Boudicca) but I haven’t for Nzinga of Ndongo and Matamba, Queen Candace of Ethiopia, Shammuramat, or even Tomoe Gozen

      I’d visit Hapshetsut, take all the idiot Thutmoses back with me and abandon them on the streets of Los Angeles.
