Trigaranus

Hello everybody, this is Phil, probably known to some of you with whose articles I have meddled as Trigaranus. I've taken my username from the Tarvos Trigaranus on the Pillar of the Boatmen, as Celtic philology and culture are quite up my alley.

My academic specialties are ancient and medieval history and linguistics, but I do have the sad tendency of interferring with articles in other fields as well. I would therefore like to invite you to make use of this page here if you feel the need to tell me off for it.

And, bugger me, I've always wanted to have some lovely old userboxes on my profile, so that everyone who does not care may gaze at them in awe.
