Old People Rule!

 

Roman Senator

#80 October 14:  Since this is my challenge for my 72^nd birthday, this piece on old age caught my eye.  People in ancient times (Roman, Mexico 1500 CE) often lived into their 50’s as verified by examining pelvic bones. Life expectancy was lowered by infant mortality rates.  Those who made it through the first two years of life often lived long lives.  In fact, in ancient Rome, some offices required an age of 30+, similar to American Presidents at 35! Of course, Biden and Trump are pushing the limits! 9/30
