I love who I was as a child, and even more I love my parents for encouraging me.

Since the AU was the more popular option, I went to dig out everything I had on Roman Britain. I found guidebooks from five Roman sites as well as three on Hadrian's wall itself, two books on the Roman Empire, a book of Roman recipes and a 500-page academic work on Roman towns in Britain. As well as all my Latin textbooks.

So, it appears this might end up being a bigger project than I anticipated. I'll start it today, but you may actually end up getting the colour-fic first because this will take a while!

I know. Honestly, the more I find out about Viggo the more enamoured I am!

I'm on a lot safer ground with Roman/Greek history because I've studied it a couple of times and am going to again next term. I went to a series of lectures on Sparta in the autumn including one of institutionalised homosexuality - which was totally fascinating. I've also got a book about prostitution in ancient Athens which covers male as well as female (it's called "Courtesans and Fishcakes" and is by James Davidson. It's an academic text on luxury - food, wine and sex - in Athens).
I really don't know what's on the web about Greek/Roman life, although it should be fairly easy to research.

Since I'm studying it very soon(probably with a bias towards Rome, although I'm not sure yet) you'll probably find posts with all sorts of random things I found interesting!
Also, I'm writing a Roman V/O set on Hadrian's wall. Well, I've hardly started it, but I will be!
