I guess it's good to introduce myself.
My name is Mika Sihto and I'm 40 yr old ex-Finnish Defence Forces officer now living in Malta, lovely Mediterrainian island.
I have been fascinated by Rome and especially Roman military since I learned how to read. Had 2 career choises in my mind..either study history in university or army officer. Was close decision, but army won.. 8)
Stumbled on this site some time ago when trying to find more information about some late Republic/Principate legions. I really like the amount of information people posting here have.
BTW, Jim Laukkonen...that is Finnish surname...Finnish ancestry, I presume ?
