I'm pretty sure that's too low - I remember consulting some table which put high medieval French adult life expectancy in the 50s, which would be 2 decades or so different rather than 1 decade.
Er... Yes. I've found this. So a 40-year-old in ancient Rome would have lived 23 more years in average, whereas the corresponding figure for the US in 2003 was 39.5 years.
Don't feel bad - you were at least informed enough not to give a ridiculous answer like '40 years'.
