Heh, guess I should've posted here first, but here I go anyway.
My name's Mike, and I'm from Louisville, Kentucky.
I became interested in Rome because I took a college-level world history course as a 10th grader, and we learned about Mediterranean history. I was particularly interested in the Roman generals -- why were they considered such geniuses? We weren't given anecdotal evidence of these generals being clever, but my curiosity was eating me alive, so I began devouring every book on the subject that I could find, and was hooked. Now, I don't think I'll ever be able to stop...and certainly hope I never do.
I was here, originally, for a couple simple questions about gear, but you guys are so nice and knowledgeable, I decided I'd stick around.
I don't re-enact...yet, but, hopefully, will be doing so in the near future. I am a student, but not one of Roman history (yet), unfortunately.
