Hello all,

I never studied history beyond A-level but I have always been fascinated by the Romans. I am lucky enough to live very close to Hadrians Wall. I have an interest in the wall itself as well as everything else the Romans left behind in Britain.

Quintus,

Welcome to UNRV!  I think that it is wonderful that you live near Hadrian's Wall.  Have you taken any photographs on your visits there?  I served in the United States Army in the late 80's / early 90's and was stationed in Germany for part of my enlistment.  One of the things that I enjoyed about exploring Germany was the close, almost casual connections between the Ancient and the Modern.  Over here in the States, we don't see that nearly as much.

Avete amicis,

 

I earned a B.A. in History, focusing on the Ancient World / Classical Antiquity, with a special love of the Roman Empire.  Since that degree is now also ancient history, I have lost much (one year of latin and I have "Ave, Caesar!  Morituri te salutamus!" to show for it.) 

 

I am glad to have found this site and its Forum.
