Reenactors, eh?

Late Roman history
Well, bits of it. I started as a reenactor, but it's now turning into what I do for a living.

I cooked the dodgy food that Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn ate when they appeared in that even dodgier programme about them training as gladiators in Italy.

My Dad once dug up the skeleton of a 100 year old murder victim from the mud of the Thames. He got three lines in `The Times'.

Apologies, etc. etc.
