Hi All,<br>
I'm from New Zealand and I've been interested in Rome and Roman (military) history since studying Latin at high school. I ended up with a degree in the classics but until now I'd had to leave my interest dormant.<br>
<br>
My relevant main hobby interest is miniature wargaming, but it is only really in the last year that I've branched into Ancient Wargaming. The areas I intend to specialise in are the later Spanish campaigns, North Britain towards the end of Roman rule, the Rhine frontier and the Dacian wars. While I'm not the greatest painter or gamer, I am a keen terrain and building modeller, so my projects will no doubt involve some aspect of the frontier fortifications.<br>
<br>
Coming back to the era of Rome has reinforced to me how much I had forgotten and how much I must learn again. The depth of scholarship and discovery since I last studied Roman History has been illuminating.<br>
<br>
I'm certainly looking forward to contributing where I can and look forward to participating with you all.<br>
