Hi, I am Alan Hamilton from Caledonia just south of Antonine's Wall. I am now fully retired from the Prison service as a Governor and also from the Army Reserve as a Lt Col in the Royal Logistics Corps after 41 years with a few operational tours under my belt.
My interest here is in gaining military background to my visits and revisits to various sites along the Antonine's and Hadrian's wall and the lands between and beyond. I am also a wargamer who started out in "ancients" with the Airfix Romans and Ancient Britons and now with the grandchildren with 28mm plastic figures. So I have a goodly host of Celts and an ever increasing force of Lgio VI Victrix and Legio IX Hispana with auxiliaries and service support. Therefore I am looking for knowledge of the Romans, their Auxiliaries and particularly their support services and families.
I am also working through some of the free (online) Open University courses that focus on Ancient Rome in its Republic and Empire.
Best wishes and thanks for letting me in!
Alan
