<i> - where are you from?</i><br>
I have lived in Colorado for last 25 years.<br>
<i> - how'd you become interested in Rome?</i><br>
Became interested in "things ancient" at about the age of nine when I became interested in Greek mythology (especially Trojan War), which led to history. Was reading <i> The Odyssey</i> and Caesar's <i> Gallic War</i> in translation (which I'd received as a gift) a year later. Read Sutcliffe's <i> Eagle of the Ninth</i> and then <i> The Lantern Bearers</i> early on. I've had an interest in the 'historical' Arthur ever since, as well as a fascination with the decaying empire - the 'lights' going out one by one.<br>
<i> - why are you here?</i><br>
Stumbled across this board in the ezboard index.<br>
<i> - do you re-enact, are you a student, an academic professional, or..?</i><br>
I do not re-enact, but I do own a replica <i> gladius</i>, if that counts for anything. I have had an interest in history, and especially military history, for over 40 years.<br>
