I prefer anything Mesolithic.

Balkans, 1260-1355, the badass boxing ring of Turkic, Slavic, Greek, Albanian, Hungarian and German peoples

Today, in Italy, in any small medieval village.

Alexandria in Egypt during the 2nd century AD: the most civilised city in Roman Empire at its peak.
Venice in the early 18th century: the art, the music.
London in the 1920s.

Hmm, not sure about a favorite, but maybe a few that I'm more familiar with and draw ideas from:

China -- both dynastic (particularly from the Han dynasty onward) and modern (both ROC and PRC through to present day)
Spain -- from Al Andalus through the end of the Spanish empire

I like the Middle Ages as well as prehistoric Europe. Ancient Japan is pretty great, too!

Pre-Colonial and Pre-Contact Africa [south/central], Hawaii, and Asia [southeast]. I also like Ancient day Germany.

Mm yes, sounds good

The Germans also seem to have some great old medieval towns/villages. Lots of good ol' timber-framed houses!

I't hard to say what my "favourite" one is, cos I really think this is the best period I could be born.

But if we think about the historical periods, the time of the Sumerians, when ever it was 5000 years ago or something, would be very ineresting to know more about. Gilgamesh may be the only book I have read in one day. Of course, it has nothing to do with reality, but if it somewhat corresponds to their thinking, the sociaty must have been worth to see. When the contrast between rising cities and the archaic countryside is an interesting theme and has much similarity with the preindustrial Europe, with its free cities and the coutryside under feodalism.

I like the Middle Ages.

I would have loved to live in or even seen the Americas during the 1400s, or even the 1600s. Always was a time-travel wish of mine. Another would be any time during or before the 1300s in Japan and Russia. :P

I like the 1800s and Chinese history in general.

Yay, Chinese - actually, I sort of got over that after Middle School.

Eh, it's still pretty interesting though.

Right now, I'd probably say Ancient Rome, Ancient China and WWI... But my interests tend to fluctuate, so a few months from now, I might say something else entirely. I also like many fantasy settings based on medieval Europe, but curiously enough, I seem not to be all that interested in actual medieval European history.

In any case, I wouldn't have wanted to actually live much before, well, now; it might've been nice to have been born a decade or two earlier (so I could've lived a cool eighties youth ), but that's it. Life can be enough of a bitch without having to worry about catching tuberculosis or dying of an infected paper cut, thank you very much.

Lately I've been getting into Industrial-era Japan (so Meiji era as well as the decade or two before and after it). Even though I hate pre-modern Japanese history, I find Japan's later history really fascinating - since it is essentially the only modern-day nation that not is developed, but also was a former world power on par (more or less, relatively speaking) with all them European empires.

Also, that's why the Last Samurai made my head explode with historical inaccuracy-inducing rage.
