I am interested in the influence of Plotinus on the art of the Roman catacombs during the ante pacem period. I am a member of the Archaeological Institute of America, the Society of Biblical Literature, having presented research at international, national and regional conferences at both organizations,and the College Art Association. The more pleasurable membership is with the Society for the Revival of the Nemean Games. It gave me the opportunity to participate in 2004, earning the blue shirt and pin. Unlike the runners of antiquity whose names and graffiti were in inscribed directly inside, upon the tunnel wall, my comment was written on a photo wall duplicate, now installed in the museum. It remains an unforgettable experience.
