User:Tusculani

Welcome to my user page!

I go by the username Tusculani, a nod to the ancient city of Tusculum — a symbol of classical heritage, philosophical dialogue, and the enduring echoes of Roman civilization.

About Me

I’m a history enthusiast with a particular interest in:

• Ancient and Medieval History (from the Mediterranean world to the Silk Roads)
• Cultural Anthropology and the evolution of human societies
• Geopolitics, both past and present — especially the strategic interplay between empires, nations, and ideologies
• Religious and Intellectual Traditions, from Zoroastrianism to Thomism

Though I am not a professional historian, I firmly believe in the power of knowledge-sharing and responsible editing. Wikipedia is a place where collective scholarship flourishes, and I strive to contribute with accuracy, curiosity, and respect for sources.

Areas of Contribution

Here are some of the topics I frequently read about or aim to contribute to:

• The Roman Republic and Empire
• The Byzantine and Islamic worlds
• The Crusades and intercultural contact
• Sicilian and Mediterranean history
• The rise and fall of states, political theory, and realpolitik
• Historical figures who shaped thought and identity — from Cicero to Ibn Khaldun

Editing Philosophy

Veritas ante omnia – “Truth before all.” I approach editing with a balance of scholarly precision and editorial humility. Sources matter. Context matters. So does civil discourse. When in doubt, I turn to primary texts, academic publications, and peer-reviewed works.

I believe Wikipedia should be a bridge between academic research and public understanding, and I support initiatives that strengthen its role as an open, multilingual, and reliable knowledge platforms.

Languages

• English – fluent
• Italian – buona comprensione

Collaboration

I'm always open to collaboration, peer review, and constructive dialogue. If you have questions, suggestions, or want to co-edit a topic, feel free to leave a message on my Talk page.
