In addition to background and love for the Classics, shown through my BA from the University of Pittsburgh and a pending MA from King's College London, I also have qualifications in various areas of history (I double-majored for my BA), a field which works hand-in-hand with the Classics. It is similarly focused on the...

The story of what a...
