Welcome to the (Ancient) History Matters forum.

Join our conversation about the Ancient world. Topics range from problems of writing ancient historical fiction to current news about ancient history to Greek mythology. Discuss topics from the beginning of writing (hieroglyphs, cuneiform, alphabets) to the fall of Rome.

If you don't know much, don't worry. We all started somewhere. Or click on the photos below for starters.

If you want to have a bit of English translated into Latin (or want to help someone do the translation), please try the homework help forum.
