The ribbon-cutting ceremony that officially opened the newly completed Ara Pacis Augustae or "Altar of Peace", in Imperial Rome, nine years before the first year of what would eventually become known as the "Christian Era."

I see it as an iconic moment in the history of Western Civilization, pregnant with aspiration, and marking the start of close to Two Hundred Mostly Uninterrupted Years of relative peace and prosperity in Western Europe and around the Mediterranean, a period that became renowned as the "Pax Romana."

 
quote
Augustus's reforms transformed Rome's Republican system of government to a de facto monarchy, couched in traditional Roman practices and Republican values. The "princeps" (later known as Emperor) was expected to balance the interests of the Roman military, Senate and people, and to maintain peace, security and prosperity throughout an ethnically diverse empire.

Assuming that in this far-fetched fantasy we'd be offered adequate protection , I would like to witness the January 14th 2005 landing of the Huygens probe on the surface of Saturn's moon, Titan. It's the farthest landing from Earth a spacecraft has ever made. The view of Saturn would be spectacular.

Go big or go home, eh!

Good stuff!
Lot's of choices.

The most transformable choice would probably be something to do with space.
The rock that got the dinosaurs?
That was probably pretty spectacular viewed from space!

For sure, but... does that actually count as "Any Moment In Human History"? The judges may need to confer on that.

Of course you're right.
Maybe "World History" would be better!

Mostly because I wanna' see the impact!

There is a Dutch group aptly named "Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century" who perform on instruments of that period.



It shows that 250 years ago, when life was still relatively primitive, the symphony was remarkable. It had to be a moving experience.
