In 209 B.C.

How many time travelers were on Earth in 209 B.C.?

Hundreds:

historical investigators, like Chandrakumar in Bactra;
other scientists;
entrepreneurs;
esthetes;
other esoterics;
Time Patrol agents at their bases in -

 - Rome;
Egyptian Alexandria;
Syrian Antioch;
Hecatompylos;
Patalipushtra;
Hien-yang;
Cuicuilco;
etc;
regional posts.

Those hundreds could all get together some time. I would like to know what the entrepreneurs are doing. We are told very little about civilian time travelers. One expedition went from a future millennium to Egypt of the Eighteenth Dynasty in search of cultural inspiration, got lost and had to be investigated by the Patrol but we do not know any more of that story. We need a whole novel set in such a future millennium.

Kaor, Paul!

Well, peaceful, law abiding time travelers would be trying very hard not to make themselves noticed. The Patrol would assist such persons, not hinder what they were doing. But I would have liked to have known more about law abiding time travelers.
