Just joined not too long ago. New to GJ as well. Formally a long time member of LJ. I was the creator of
http://roma_antiqua.livejournal.com/ . I've stopped actively studying ancient Rome a long time ago. I had gotten into it mostly for ancestry reasons because I am of Roman descent, but now I've moved on from caring about that. Also, I think I just burnt myself out haha. Anyway, my interest in ancient Rome has always been with the Republic, the Italic tribes, the time around Sulla, the lives of the plebians and the Roman controlled lands outside of Italy. Hmm...not sure what else to say. :)
