Which centuries interest you the most?

[Lumine]

A man of Antiquity to the bitter end, partly because of my infatuation with Rome, but also due to the sense of epic grandeur, the complexities of a much smaller world, and a fascinating - particularly pre-Christian - cultural context. The XIX Century absolutely gets second place though.

From a professional point of view, Antiquity is also very challenging - but in a rewarding way - to approach as an historian. There's just something about the minutiae of attempting a reconstruction of events with comparatively limited means that I find both fascinating and invigorating.
