Biography
I started studying latin at the age of 13 and haven't looked back since. From the joys of translation - which is like a linguistic jigsaw - to the thrill of exploring ancient ruins and relishing the intricacies of power struggles throughout the Ancient World, I am constantly surprised by what I learn. My studies so far are only the tip of the ice berg, however. I've got an awful lot of reading still to do.
