Hi, I'm Johannes Sanguinarius. I live in the USA. I've had an interest in history,especially ancient history, as far back as I can remember. That's a mighty long time! Does anyone remember the "Classics Illustrated" series of comic books? Their version of Caesar's "Gallic War" helped to spark my interest in Roman history along with all those Italian sword and sandals films as well as "Cleopatra" and "The Fall of the Roman Empire" ,"The Robe", "Demetrius and the Gladiators" etc... I read an abridged version of Gibbon in high school and that started my over 40 year love affair with Late Roman history. I'm an amateur scholar and am widely read in English but ,alas, have no Latin , Greek, French, or German.I've lurked on this and the old forum off and on for a number of years. Thanks to the holidays I've been filled with good will toward men and have decided to introduce myself and participate in the discussions
I'm a miniature war gamer and collector with an enormous number of Romans, Franks, Goths, Huns, Saxons, Picts,and Arthurians. Most of them are unpainted as most of my fellow miniature gamers will sympathize. I've been pondering yet another new project, The Sassanids.
