that's a very specific list you have there :huh:

It is what I think would be ideal to send within the budget of one billion dollars.

If you have any questions why I chose a certain thing feel free to ask

ok... hmm... why teh 50000 nintendo 3ds? :unsure:
>>
I would send surrounding and political enemies millions of Comic LOs, so they would be too busy fapping :biggrin:

I considered Iphones, but they dont have a cover for the screen, and I felt that the stylus and the physical buttons would be more intuitive for an ancient.
The reason why either of these things is so they can take photographs, and record secret notes. Also you can do the thing where you put two DSs together to share files without internet (I guess iphones have that too).

Also, the mental image of a Roman centurion holding a DS is hilarious

>in order to strengthen the Roman empire and increase the likelihood of avoiding it's fall
just send a .50 caliber barret sniper rifle to headshot the tent maker from judea

I don't think that would be enough, but for sure "The International Jew" will be included in the 100,000 books to clue them in
