Welcome!

Brek-ek-ek-ek-coax-coax... and welcome to Roman Keyline Blog! You have just crossed the river Styx and are ready to join Aeschylus and Euripides in a great line contest. Fortunately for you, you don't have to invent your own lines. Most of the time, I'll just ask you to pick out a great line from whatever Roman writer we happen to be studying in History 422 and explain why this line is key to understanding the whole work or particularly worth remembering and applying to real life.

For this first post, you don't need to have done any of the readings.  Just introduce yourself and explain why are taking this course.
