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.

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.
