hi im new to this guild. i love ancient history and im obsessed talking about roman history....whoever is the leader, i'd like to be an optio (second in command to a centurion, which is the commander of a roman army unit of 100 men called a century), serving under trajan, one of the emporers of rome, called roma in latin. I want to lead the 1st punic war against carthage in modern-day tunisia, called north africa, at that time. i used to be obsessed with the middle and dark ages like the time of william the conquerer, and the siege of acre, which was a seige in 2nd crusade...the whole 1,000-lasting series of war between byzantine empire (aka, western empire, originally achea, asia minor, and macedon, now being turkey, greece, and macedonia, with capitol, byzantium, aka, constantinople, founded by constantine the great), eastern empire (originally where the legends, roma and romulus allegedly founded rome, being roman kingdom, then turning into roman republic with sulla, then julius ceasar as dictator, senate, proconsul, propraetor, then consuls, and later, roman empire, then eastern & western empire.

thank u for the welcoming...and sorry i talk a bit too much...oh and even though in the Roleplay im an optio serving under trajan, can i be originally from bylazora, where the greek philosipher, thales was from? and have u heard of opus reticulatum, the wall the later romans used, which consisted of diamond shaped stones against cement...oh and not only do i like learning about ancient rome, mostly about their society, government, mythology, and warfare, but i also like the same things about other ancient civilizations including carthage, if i didnt say about the punic wars on my first post....and here are some of the other civlisations i like learning about:
Knossos, Thebes, Numidia, Gaul, franks, huns, burgundians, alemanni, thrace, marathon, corinth, turks, ottomans, miletus (picture of miletus is in my profile), troy, rhodes, thracia, ostrogoths, phoenicians, parthians, sassinids, sumeria, babylonia, ancient persia (one of their kings being darius the great), Pontus, Assyria, Carthage, Numidia, Roman-republic (having julius ceasar and sulla as propraetor, consul, proconsul, senate, and then dictator) roman empire, byzantine, britons, iceni, visigoths, egypt, macedon, achea, vandals, alicanarsuss, bodrum, olympia, verona, venice, florence, nifa, stabaie, herculaneum, vulci, pompei, dacia, illyricum, timgad, etc.
