Hello everyone, I found this site while I was looking up something for Rome total war and I am glad I have found this site.
where are you from?
I'm from Penrith, NSW Australia
- how'd you become interested in Rome?
When I was around seven, my Mum is interested in history and started showing me things at an early age. I'm also interested in Ancient Greece (Hellas), Ancient Celtic/pict, Sarmatian/Sycthian/Parthian culture and the dark ages. Ooh and the Byzantines too.
Then I'm also interested in the Medieval period.
- why are you here?
Because I read around on the site and found it very informative. Not to mention that it looks friendly too.
- do you re-enact, are you a student, an academic professional, or..?
No re-enacting for me, but I'm on the look out for re-enactment groups and the like.
Introduction
My name is Amanda, but call me Manda. lol I only get called Amanda when I'm in trouble or on legal type documents. I'm 19 years old. I haven't found a latin name yet, but I'm in the process of doing that. I enjoy horse riding, carriage driving and I'm thinking about trying to buy a horse. That I can teach to joust and do battle re-enactments with it too.
I'm currently doing a Business Administration Diploma and I'm writing four seris of novels. One is the end of the world, with demons uprising and humans struggle for survival. One is a ancient/medieval/fantasy type thing. One is about vampires and humans vying for power in space (lol don't ask) and one is about a new race of humans evolving.
I enjoy reading books by Bernard Cornwell 'king Arthur trilogy' and David Pressfield 'Gates of Fire'
Umm I enjoy listening to rock, metal and j-rock.
D
Nice to meet everyone.
