Hello everyone,
I am Tom, although my username is Scipi (which in itself is a nickname my friends started calling me about a year back). I'm from Maryland, in the US.
I don't know exactly when I started gaining interest in Rome, but I know it was a smoldering interest fueled by some of the games and movies set in the period. Though it was recently kindled into a passion a few years back when I became exposed to the Punic Wars and the Roman Republican Era.
I've recently been looking more and more into reenacting and so while researching equipment and information on unit types I wish to recreate, I find myself here time and time again. So I figured it was high time I made an account and join the community here.
Like I mentioned above, I hope to get into reenacting. Although, I've only just begun in this venture and nothing I have constructed would I consider historically accurate enough for the purpose. Save for a half completed Aspis shield.
Beyond that, due to my strong interest in the period I am strongly considering minoring in either Archaeology or History. (The only reason I haven't made a decision on this yet, is because it's an odd combination with my being a Computer Science major, with Mathematics as a potential dual major.)
