Ave!<br>
<br>
I'm Sam Kimpton and I am a member of Legio II Augustus in Portland, Oregon.<br>
<br>
My interest in Rome recieved a huge boost from my involvement in this group however I have never been a stranger to history. One of my long standing interests and a major focus had been The Egyptian language until my new found interest in all things Roman.<br>
<br>
I have also been involved in Living history for some time. Past, and other, Have included Just about every phase of American military history from the War of Independance to WW II.<br>
<br>
I beleive strongly in the idea that The value of this area of "reenacting is two fold: 1. public education and 2. experimental archeology. It is out of a desire to fulfill the former that I have engrossed myself in the study of Roman history.<br>
<br>
What a complex and fascinating topic.<br>
<br>
Well anyway that's who I am and the reason I am here is to ask questions, share ideas and to learn a lot from you guys.<br>
<br>
Very glad to be here.<br>
