A special welcome to fellow Aussies, Dave, Polynikes and Decanus. D
I was once Infantry too, but from a generation long ago!
My interests run to all things Graeco-Roman, but my special favourite, as you might gather from the name, is also the period of Rome's expansion beyond Italy - from the first Punic War to Trajan. 8)
BTW guys, don't forget to add your real name.....Forum rule!!
