Well, since this is my first post here, I'll let you all know who I am. I am primarily interested in the culture of the Mediterranean in the times of the first century AD (I refuse to use CE and BCE) as part of the background to the Gospels and Acts of the New Testament. I discoverend this site whilst using Google to try to find an answer to the question "Who commands a cohort?" I struck paydirt with that. The answer is of course unclear.
I'm in my 60's and have several degrees in Computer Science. I'm somewhat functional in koine Greek.
Regarding my avatar, if you are a science fictions fan you may recognize the character of Londo Molari from the mid 90's TV Show Babylon 5, which to many is the best sci fi TV series ever made. He was the great tragic character of that series. The Centauri--his race--are very obviously based on Romand lines.
