Non-Roman Historical Interests
#16
I can't really say that there is any period of history which doesn't interest me, although it is a while now since I read any Indian or Chinese history (apart from a book I read on the Boxer Rebellion a couple of years ago). Over five years at university I took papers in Bronze Age, Classical Greek, Hellenistic, Republican Roman, Early Imperial Roman, Migration period, Anglo-Saxon English, western European (Late Roman to Charlemagne), Medieval European, Medieval English, Medieval African, Western Rennaisance/Early Modern European, Colonial American, Nineteenth Century American, Survey Indian, Modern Russian, Modern European and Modern American history.* I became more interested in Dominate and later Roman history after I left university. The most recent museum I visited was the Midland Air Museum.
I used to be a late Anglo-Saxon re-enactor, I am currently working on a graphic novel set during the English Civil War (although my artist is proving to be very half hearted) and I occasionally write on modern political matters.

Oh, and in case anyone has missed it, I am also quite interested in Roman military equipment, particularly pugiones. :lol:

*Come to think of it, whilst at university I also somehow found time to take papers in mythology, quite a lot of philosophy papers, English literature, linguistics and anthropology.
