476 AD :)

Well, I guess I'd pay the Roman Empire a visit... years would include:
0 A.D. (:), doesn't exist, I know) - Reign of Augustus, Jesus born
First decade of the second century - Trajan's rule, "Golden Age" of Rome

Futher, in more recent times:
1969 - First man on the moon
1989 - Fall of Berlin Wall
1990 - German reunification

Actually, I was already born when the last two ones took place, but I was a baby and therefore do not remember anything at all.

0AD ... :) to see where Jesus was born ... and around 36AD, time of his death ... I would like to see Rome at the time of Michaelangelo as well ... to see what it was like before he designed the cupola ...

All sorts of controversial events in history:

28 A.D - To see whether Jesus of Nazarene's teachings were transcribed correctly
1770 A.D - Boston Massacre (who started it?)
1774 A.D - Battle of Lexington and Concord (who fired the shot heard round the world?)
1945 A.D. - Try to follow General George S. Patton's idea of stopping Soviets while we alone have the bomb (yes, there will be objections, but blah)

No, it's normally called the Civil War, but that's actually not what it is...

I would like to see and be around Jesus' time. But for now, I'd rather stay where I am. I don't think I would do so well in History itself than I am at reading it and writing it down[ interested in history].
