2, 3, 12

2. Favorite male historical figure (HF)i mean this is very obvious but.......tiberius sempronius gracchus is a Fave... unfortunately i am incapable of picking one ultimate favourite because there’s also so many more romans john keats 

3. Favorite female HFada lovelace!!! probably most well known for inventing what could be seen as the first computer programming ever. her dad was lord byron and her mum didnt want her involved w/ poetry At All in case she ended up like byron so she had ada taught lots of maths BUT “lovelace often questioned basic assumptions by integrating poetry and science” and once wrote to her mother “if you can’t give me poetry, can’t you give me poetical science?” which is. really cool you could also argue that she predicted the idea of artificial intelligence bcs she was v interested in how the mind works and at one point wrote that she wanted to create “a calculus of the nervous system” like !!!!!  

12. Ever been to any cool historical sites?lots of them but my recent favourite is these lycian cave tombs i saw in the summer! we had to walk up a cliff to get to them it was great. i also really love the baths in...bath...... especially the history of how the look now compared to when various parts of them were built

thanks for the ask!!
