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.

Hello there! Welcome to History Huggers!
Speaking of Ancient Rome...here's a random fact (which you may know but I feel like telling anyway razz )
The Roman historians used a system to date special events called ab urbe condita, meaning 'from the founding of the city'. I think A.D. 1 was 709 years ab urbe condita.
*end randomness*

 some days, some nights some live, some die in the way of the samurai i study religions and overall actions of mankind throughout history. i love all of history up untill the revolutionary war .. i hate american history :p tho i dont mind the civil war and stories about the western frontier.
and i do love some of the more sadistic parts of world war 2 such as the works of dr. mengele im fasinated by it and still in awe and wonderment about the thing he discovered that we still have yet to find ( due to him successfully escaping and destroying most evidence of his research)
my main interest in history is mythologys and ancient religions of world cultures and their ties into the paranormal :] if you dont understand that it pretty much means i beleive we werent created by a big bag or evolution but rather we were put here by alien life forms ... might just be my paranoia and will to beleive but i see proof of aliens and other unexplainable thing throughout history some fight, some bleed sun up to sun down the sons of a battlecry
