US-born, 15 years back and forth between academia and Africa in the world of international development, now in a technology job in a financial institution, and an amateur historian focusing on Rome. My only reason for joining at this time is to correct an overly laudatory account of the life of Gaius Marius, who was a central player in the destruction of the Roman Republic. I have one quote on him from Plutarch to add!
