Hello. Finally got round to finishing my registration since February so thought I would come and introduce myself...been interested in all things Roman military since falling desperately in love with Terence Longdon who played Drusus in Ben Hur (wont give my age away but I was very young LOL ) . Then got into Greek military history via Roderick Milton's splendid novel 'Tell Them in Sparta' based on the Persian Wars. Did Ancient History as a degree as a result specialising in military history in my last year, notably the Year of the Four Emperors (AD69)...which is why Gaius Julius Vindex is my hero...was an archaeologist...listened to Mother's advice and joined the Army for a 'proper' job (!)...and now returning to my trowel after dum de dum years.
Always been interested in all things cavalry...have a retired polo pony to experiment on but not a member of any re-enactment groups as I haven't had the time to commit so far...
I am in Dorset in England
...anything I've missed? Don't think so?

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
