Welcome!

I say about myself that I am a historian of Antiquity. I love it not because it deals with great men long dead, but because it deals with us, with those who populate the Earth at this very moment. It is enough to read just a few lines of Thucydides, Sallust or Tacitus to see emerging from the page people who even now are working – or plotting – to influence our lives. I will try, throughout this blog, to see if there is anything History may still teach us (and I believe there is, or else this blog would not have existed).
