Vestia Antonia Aurelia (called "Vesta") was a resident of Ephesus, 62 BCE. The daughter of a retired Roman soldier and a Greek mother, she stumbled into this place called "An Tir" where she can undertake gladitorial training without worrying about her father's disapproval. Over time, she has received notice from its various Imperators and has given her soldier's oath to Ambrosius Mavrorothakis Cabellerios.

Interests
Main interest is, of course, heavy fighting.
Secondary interests include the Romans (especially the middle and late Republic) with an emphasis on the Virgines Vestales, gladitorial combat and Roman cooking (especially Apicius, Cato and Columella). Also included: Elizabethan-age drama, Norse poetry forms, live and written storytelling, clothing in Bronze Age settlement civilizations (Sumerians, Harrapans, etc), works of Greek art and an utter obsession for all things Minoan.
I have created two versions of Minoan dress and enjoyed the process entirely too much each time. First Minoan dress (Cretan): https://www.facebook.com/vesta.aurelia/media_set?set=a.10201378564080058 Second Minoan dress (Theran): https://www.facebook.com/vesta.aurelia/media_set?set=a.10204747309336584
Personal History
Vesta's first event, technically, was the last Kriegstreiber, back when she was resident of Three Mountains, but not yet playing. She visited with a group of college friends. But Real Life(tm) intervened, and employment drew her to the Summits.
Her first camping event was Border War, during Skapti's first reign, when the Summits was a brand-new principality. It is all quite hazy, as she was still a mid-16th Century German persona (called Ilsa von Waldsee), then. However, the subsequent summer heat (and supreme lack of needlework skills) soon cured any ambitions of wearing late period clothing. Thus, Vesta.
To be continued....
Most unique experience? Being Miss February in the first Barony of Adiantum Fundraiser Calendar.
