artremis's version. Comment here and i'll tell you - in return i'd like it if you'd post some variant of this on your own journal but i'm not going to hold anyone to it:
a. Tell you why I friended you.
b. Tell you something I like about you.
c. Ask you something I've wanted to know about you.

And yes! The Romans. Specifically the Julio-Claudian Emperors - from Augustus to Nero. Nero's my favourite, has always been my favourite, I adore him. Caligula comes a close second. Oh, and Hadrian's rather cool too because he had a male lover who has a most awesome bust in the Louvre (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antinous_Mondragone), it's stunningly beautiful (I went to the Hadrian exhibition at the British Museum to see it, sadly I've never been to the Louvre).
I prefer learning/reading about the emperors, but I also love architecture so their buildings fascinate me. I'm doing my dissertation for my degree on baths. Roman Britain I'm not so keen on, but it's still interesting, especially with the transition from the Iron Age. Plus, I've done several weeks of excavation at a Roman site in England that used to be an Iron Age site. I don't think I could ever get bored of the Romans, and I much prefer them to the Greeks - although Alexander the Great's fascinating. And I like the film...because Colin Farrell and Jared Leto? Yes please!
Uhm...I'll stop talking now so I don't overtake your page.
