Hello all!<br>
<br>
I guess my interest in ancient studies started very early - second or third grade - with the ancient Greeks. My interest in ancient Rome started with Ben Hur when I was not much older. Somehow I was more impressed with the good Romans in that movie than I was with, well, all the other principals. My interest was encouraged by my seventh and eighth grade Latin teacher, and almost killed by my second high school Latin teacher.<br>
<br>
I'm another writer wannabe. What rekindled my interest, which has since become a raging passion, was, of all things, my rediscovery of the soundtrack to the movie Spartacus! (I know: I'm dating myself! It's okay if you call me an old fart, as long as you smile when you say that! <p></p><i></i>
