My initial passion is for Roman history with an emphasis on the Republic. But my interest doesn't end there, I enjoy studying the other cultures that Rome came in contact with, especially the Celtic and Ptolemaic Egypt. Actually, I just enjoy history, preferably the ancient through the early renaissance. ------------- Felix qui potuit rerum cognoscere causas |

I'm very interested in the Napoleonic Wars, Rome(more specifically, during the Republic, and the reigns of Septimius Severus, Vespasian, and Marcus Aurelius), and Classical Greece(especially the nation of Sparta). I would like to learn more on ancient Chinese tactics, to be able to make comaprisons between their armies, and the western armies. ------------- τρέφεται δέ, ὤ Σώκρατης, ψυχὴ τίνι; |

Hello! I like most history, but prefer ancient one. Rome is the favourite topic. But I`m even interested in European medieval, Byzantine, Viking, Swedish, WWII and WWI history. However, for some reason, chines history doesn`t seem to interst me at all... /Capa |

Hi, I am new here but some people may know me from HG History forums which I frequent. I am most versed in modern history 1870-present (especially first half of 20th C). However, I also have a adequate/good grasp of general world history, in particular Russia and Europe, and to a lesser extent China and east Asia, and the Middle East. |

it should be area not era, since we don't have to specialise in
time-dated history. One could specialise in things like military
history, or linguistics. |

Roman and Greek Antiquity, but I don't really consider myself an expert. It's the area I know most about, though. I'm also interested in other ancient civilizations, Byzantium, Japan and the histories of thinking and literature in general (and a lot more). ------------- Wherever I turn, there is Death.

I study the American Civil War extensively, enough to be at least a semi-expert (not meaning to brag, really, but I know a lot compared to my other areas). Also, to a much lesser extent, interested in Napoleon and WWII. I am currently studying Ancient Greece, however. ------------- |

In my case, Plutarque is the very one that inspires in me the love of history. Therefore, nothing comes as a surprise when I say I am stuck with Ancient Greece and Rome. And after such a general field of history, I take great interest in (amateurishly) studying history of several nations I like: Spain, Portugal, Poland, Hungary, Austria and Russia. It seems to me that the more I learn about them, the more curiosity I have at their neighbours and as curiosity is in direct ratio with interest, I find myself end up with a very long list of the liked nations, of which the newest member is Etiopia. |

My interest is primarily drawn towards the ancient world, particularly
Greece and Rome and the nations with which they have interacted.
However, I have touched on those nations lying on the fringes of that
period, from the earliest cultures of Mesopotamia to the ancestors of
modern Britain, Germany and Spain. Outside of them, I also touch
on the Japanese and their neighbors in the Far East (China, Korea, the
Mongols, etc). In the Americas, I'm curious about the history prior to the coming of the Europeans. Of these, the Iroquois, the Inca and the Maya grab my attention. ------------- "There you go again!" -- President Ronald W.

Proto-Indo-European and Indo-European civilizations in general and the
Scythians, Sarmatians, Alans and the Iranians amongst them as well as
the Proto-Slavs. IE cultures of Asia Minor, Thrace and Illyria.
Classical Greece and Rome, especially the Roman Republic as well as the
Hellenistic period. Caucasian history and peoples, Proto-Northwestern
Caucasians; Meotians, Sinds and their ties with the PIE people as well
as the contemporary NW Caucasian peoples the Adyghe, Abkhaz and
Ossetes. Early to Late Medieval history, especially of Wales, England,
France, Byzantine Empire. The Renaissance, Italian republics and states
such as Republic of Florence, Venice, Duchy of Milan and the Northern
Renaissance. Austro-Hungary and France in the age of absolutism.
Regency and Victoriana periods in England, especially the social
history. Russian history in general from the Kievan Rus to the USSR and
Southern Slavic (Balkan) states. 18th and 19th century in the Ottoman
Empire and the reforms. Other than that I am also interested in mythology, PIE and comparative IE religion, mystery religions of Rome especially Mithraism, linguistics and languages (especially of Indo-European languages as well as NW Caucasian group -which is not IE like the Basque- and Brythonic Celtic languages, Greek and Latin); anthropology (physical and cultural), population movements, ethnology, art and art history, cultural studies, politics and cinema studies. I am not an expert in any one of the above topics of course but I
probably know more about the art of the Classical Civilizations and of
the Medieval period; the social history of Regency and Victoriana,
anthropology, history of Russia, England, NW Caucasus from ancient to
modern and the Balkans, mythology and religions, and cinema studies
than the others I've listed. There are some real experts on AE though,
it's always exciting to read posts here, so cheers everyone.  |

I don't really have an area of specialization in anything. I do enjoy learning about the European history. Some cultures I enjoy are the Romans, the Greeks, the Huns, and the Vikings. I also like American History, preferably pre-Civil War. ------------- Colorguard..to those who understand no explanation needed..To those who don't no explanation possible Never frown...even when your sad, you never know when someone will fall in love with your smile |
