Hello everyone.I'm John W. Akers from Indiana in the USA. I wish I'd given myself a Roman name when I joined! Can anyone tell me if I can edit my Profile to do so?
I've been interested in History ever since I was a lad.One of my earliest memories is of the old"Classics Illustrated" comic book version of Caesar's" Gallic War".Any old timers remember those comics?
I watched all the Sword & Sandal movies too.
When I was a teenager I found an abridged edition of Gibbon in my school library.That started a 30 year interest in the Late Roman Empire.
I have a Bachelor's degree in Education.Social Studies of course!
I'm a miniature wargamer w/ Late Roman,Germanic,Hunnic,Romano-British,Pictish & Scots-Irish armies all in variuos stages of completion.
I'm glad to have found this site of like minded enthusiasts.
