Hello everyone,
My name is Sachiko, I'm from Asia and I'm new to this forum!
I joined because I would like to know more about the Roman Army.
I became interested in Rome after watching the Rome series on HBO, which I thought was well-written and the characters were well portrayed... well..to me at least :oops:
I love reading historical fiction too. I've recently read some books on Roman historical fiction such as Allan Massie's Caligula, Robert Graves' Claudius, Manda Scott's Boudica and Imperium by Robert Harris. I've also read Lives of the Caesars by Suetonius.
My interest is still rather "new". I'm trying to find out more about army life and also what some terms mean like.. ala or legio or primus pilus...
I am not a re-enactor Unfortunately they don't have Roman re-enactments where I live although I would definitely like to take part in or see one!
I am a second year Philosophy student and will be taking my exams soon.
I also like photography and I like to do pencil portraiture.
But the "hobby" that takes up the most time for me is my adopted silky terrier. I love trying out new grooming products on him (and subjecting him to the horror of topknots) lol!
Oops.. perhaps I've talked too much and bored all the soldiers here!
Anyhoo, here are some pics of myself from a summer outing with my dog last year:
Hope to learn more about Rome and make new friends too!
