By the year 12BC the tribes of the Vindelici had been finally defeated by the Roman invaders and their leader, a man named Augustus, refounded the chief settlement giving it the name Augusta Vindelicorum.
My mother was a proud member of the Vindelici and my father a Roman soldier. At first we were spurned by both the Roman and the Vindelici people, so my mother took me into the forests and taught me how to survive. She also gifted me with her knowledge of plants and herbs. Her reputation for healing was well known however and as more and more people sought her out in hopes of becoming healthy again, slowly over time we also became acceptable once again. Soon after her death I became the ward of a powerful tribesman after I saved his wife from perishing in childbirth. Although quite young in age, perhaps no more than fifteen or sixteen summers, he recognised my own gift for healing and this was to be my path to good fortune. It is the gift I treasure most from my mother.
In the years since I have travelled and studied widely gaining knowledge and adding to my collection of plant and herbal cures.
Welcome to my Taigh! As you wander through my house you will discover the Courtyard where I conduct my social activities here at AncientWorlds, my Library which is for my historical and academic pursuits, and finally my Study where I store my plant and herbal remedies. Read a little about the Vindelici people and La Tène culture in the library. Enjoy your visit and Thanks for visiting my home!
