Hello to all,<br>
<br>
I am sorry it has taken me so long to introduce myself. I have been perusing the Roman Army Talk for some time but did not register for a while and then did not post for even longer.<br>
<br>
I am a thirty year old Ancient Historian from New Zealand and am currently enrolled in a PhD at Sydney University. My specialist field is the genre of didactic military handbooks (Frontinus, Polyaenus, Aelian, Arrian, Onasander, Vegetius et. al.) and my particular axe to grind is that these were of some practical benefit despite modern historians and philologists low opinion of them.<br>
<br>
I am therefore concerned with Roman military history and theory generally for and for anything I can glean from it for my purposes.<br>
<br>
I hope to be a more frequent poster in the months ahead and I look forward to meeting you all.<br>
<br>
Yours Sincerely<br>
<br>
