It amazes me, when reading stuff from ancient Rome (currently I'm reading Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, which was basically his diary), how similar a lot of society, day-to-day worries and the like, are to ours today. However, I think the normal person's worldview nowadays is much more similar to that of the most elite in those societies than the plebians, mostly because general education has improved so drastically.
