Hello all. I am thrilled to find a forum of like-minded people who share my interest in Rome and especially the Roman army. I am former military and I see so many parallels between our military today and the army of ancient Rome. I am a female and my mostly-female friends don't share my obsession, so I decided to look for people with similar interests. I think I've found 'em here!
- where are you from?
- how'd you become interested in Rome?
- why are you here?
- do you re-enact, are you a student, an academic professional, or..?
1. I am from Colorado. But my heart is on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. And I am sure one day, when I get to visit Rome, my heart will remain there as well.
2. We studied Rome in my 9th grade social studies class. I loved that much of the world and society is still shaped, even today, by ancient Rome. I also thought the discipline displayed in Roman legions was amazing.
3. I'm here to share information and to learn from other people who, like me, should have been born in Ancient Roman times!
4. I'm currently writing a book from the perspective of a Roman soldier. This has required painstaking research. Since I know many of you re-enact and/or otherwise have an obsession with all things ancient Rome and the Roman army, I thought this would be a good place to be.
