Propensity towards Ancient Rome

All my life I had a propensity towards ancient Roman life, history and politics. I have watched I Claudius and Rome (the TV series), countless times. Generally speaking, I loved watching, reading about the subject. (I guess should have been a historian) I have never had any dreams of past life.
I am not sure if this is just a quirk or I have had some past life in the era?
 
I think there are lots of us who had past lives in Ancient Rome. Many of the people I know in this life served with me or under me in the Roman Army. If you think about it, the United States today is sort of a modern incarnation of the Roman Empire. Many of our institutions are patterned after the Romans. Our government and military come to mind. Career military people can retire after 20 years because that's how it was in the Roman Army.
 
It's usually a sign of (at least one) past life. If you just 'love it' and find everything about it fascinating, that's usually for a reason. What would you say, if you had to guess what association you might have had with Rome?
 
I think a lot of people find ancient Rome engaging because of the large period of time it spanned here on earth and the sheer amount of land it encompassed. A lot of people lived and died during those times and it seems likely that people would at least have had a life (or more) there.
 
I have no idea what capacity I have lived then (perhaps a soldier but I am just guessing). My love was(is) borderline obsessive and started very early in life. I also was very interested in pre-roman antiquities and art as a child which is not usual. Like I said, I have no memories, perhaps I could have been regressed as a child. I also had vivid, recurring dreams of flying (I think those were OBE's)

I'm in the same boat AO. Rome has always been a fascination to me. I traveled and explored Rome back in the 70s, before I knew anything about reincarnation. But, let me tell you, it was incredibly familiar to me... nostalgic. Perhaps I'll return there some day and with what I know now, who knows what will happen. I have three memories, two brief ones. One was as a middle to upper class merchant. I remember sleeping in an open air house, hearing the noises of the city. It was quiet for the most part, occasional yelling, dog barking etc... and the smell of smoke. The second flashes of memory are of being a soldier of some sort. I'd love to explore this one as it has come up several times. And lastly a more detailed memory came from during regression therapy. It was the death scene in which I was slashed by a very big and drunk roman soldier.


I'm like you, I can't get enough of Roman history. It's incredible to think of the similarities to modern America. We are smug in our superior attitudes, as were they. Their decline should be an omen to us.

I've used to have an aversion towards Rome... A a little kid I was into Caesar a lot. I've had PL experiences from Rome. I saw the city which I hated because it was so crowded, stinky, the buildings are 3 story high with tiny alleys in between them and people throw garbage out of the windows right onto the street, and sometimes they do not look down if someone is walking! I just want to go away and I get into the army.


I also saw myself that life time, training as a soldier (I am in charge of hiring new soldiers, observing new recruits for a week or so, and reporting whether they are gonna be useful or not, as we do not want insane people) in a boot camp which is full of yellowish dust which sits on everything... I also see myself building a road (or supervising people who build it) it's extremely hot, there are some hills, the earth is a bit red. I know the Romans were a bit into roads. A few years ago I had some verification on how Rome looked like, and it was true what I had seen about the houses (before I believed that the houses were mostly villas, and so I did not believe what I saw in my own experience, until the research proved it.)
 
The Romans built the first engineered highways. The Romans also invented sewers, but maybe only for the rich? The yellow dust may have been sulphur, maybe from volcano?
 
Yes, the rich all had a farm or a country house where the air was clean and the riff-raff not-so-numerous. When I was in Split, Croatia in my youth I had a mesmerizing time as it was the favorite place of The Roman Emperor Diocletian (ruled 284 to 305 CE) reformed the government in the late Roman Empire and established the Tetrarchy.

I know that the Romans invented the aquaducts to distribute fresh water, sort of like modern water pipes. About sewers I did not know, but it's likely that only for some people (even in the 1930's many modern European cities did not have sewers in all of the houses.) The dust coming from a volcano is a possibility, it seemed to be either some very fine sand, or dust mixed with sand, which got up in the air easily when walking and esp. running.
 
AOSpare, now I also have always had a fascination with the Roman Empire. And I know that I have lived several lives here during this time period. In one life I was a christian who was later martyred for the faith. This could have been during the time of Emperior Decius about 250 AD. In another do believe was a Roman Soldier. And possibly in another as a wife of a trader who traveled all over the region. As Argonne said, do think that quite a few of us could have had past lives here during this time. Wishing Everyone the Best!

I visited Portland, Oregon in 1980 or 81, right after Mt. St. Helens erupted the second time. The ash had covered Portland and I found a pile that had been swept up in a church parking lot. I took a jar full of it home with me. I was surprised at how fine the texture was, it was like powdered cement dust. I read later that the Roman's invented cement using volcanic ash. This is why the Roman coliseums are still standing. They were built using cement to hold the stones together.

Thanks for the info. That explains it, and yes this is how the sand was like. I have never been around a volcano, but I've always found them a bit scary, maybe because of living near one in a past life.
 
I feel inclined towards ancient Rome also. I feel like I was probably a soldier like I have been in a lot of lives. I got to see some of the aqueducts that are still standing today while in Macedonia. I also feel connected to Greece and the beauty of the countryside and the warm Agean Sea. Seeing 2000 year old ruins and fresco paintings is also pretty incredible. I felt really at peace while there.

Cool! I really like Ancient Rome and the Ancient Romans was well...especially the daily life in Ancient Rome. I have even possibly have had been a Ancient Roman girl in Ancient Rome once because of a possible past life dream that I had. So, it is most definitely possible that you could very well have had a past life in Ancient Rome. :) ;)
 
Okay. You do not remember your PL, right? Could you try to write, which age and characters interest you the most?


There's really high probability, that you had had PL coming from ancient Rome. How many people could be living by 1228 years! What do you think - were you a famous character or average citizen? Are you able to guess, if were you a citizen? Male or female?


As I wrote before the edition, I suspect that I could be Brutu. Why? As long as remember, my feelings for Julius Ceasar were ambivalent. He had to die in the reason of being a tyrant, but if he just had pulled himself together! It is sad, that he had to die at the hand of his friend, but it happened just on his wish. And I started to remember some events from that life. Talking to Ceasar after the release (got captured during war), my feelings in 44 b.C. - from the beginning of March to the Ides. Next is the moment before suicide (42 b.C.?). And that's all, but for me enough to make me suspect Brutu of being my PL.

Demi, another possibility is that the yellowish dust was just that, dust. I can't describe it well but I'm thinking of that material that is like a dry, dusty dirt. It can be a whitish or orangeish yellow sometimes, depending on the soil.


In Italy, you can find unpaved roads and patches of ground that have that. I think it's fairly common in other parts of Southern Europe as well. It forms a sort of mud when it rains, but when it's dry, it's like dust and can get all over your shoes. If it's windy or if you're running, it can rise and get all over everything.
