Avete, Khairete and Hi!
My name is Alan. I am 57 years old and live in Edinburgh, Scotland. I have been interested in all things Roman and Greek for many years now and have recently become particularly interested in the military side, purely from a hobby point of view. I am, among other things, a senior IT manager in a major bank and a recent, besotted grandfather.
My main hobby is archery and I shoot everything from modern, state-of-the-art compounds, through flatbows and longbows to my latest acquisition, a mongolian bow of great beauty and immense power.
I have looked in on this forum for some time now and have been impressed by the breadth depth of knowledge and, perhaps even more, by the supportive, constructive tone of (nearly) all the contributions. This is quite unlike some other forums I have experienced!
Anyway, I'm not sure what I can contribute, but I'll do what I can and look forward to some interesting interchanges.
PS - I will get around to an Avatar asap - anyone know where I can find some ready-made ones?
