I am a Roman historian and Writer who loves to engage in dialogue with the ancient world. And in that conversing and wandering, I link the times and the stories they tell with our contemporary time.
The ancient world is a world on fire with life.
Through antiquity, we may find the most rewarding studies of humankind. You will find it serves as a refuge from the troubles of the modern world.
Turn your mind to the past, not to wallow over, but to embrace as a world you are yet to discover for its wonder.
And always keep in mind these words from Livy:
'The study of history is the best medicine for a sick mind; for in history you have a record of the infinite variety of human experience plainly set out for all to see; and in that record you can find for yourself and your country both examples and warnings; fine things to take as models, base things, rotten through and through, to avoid.’ (Livy)
