I think a picture of me goes here.

Domina Volusia Zoe

(Vuh-loose-iuh Zo)

You can just call me Zoe!

Volusia is my nomen, or Roman surname/family name. Zoe is my cognomen, or given name.

'Domina' is essentially the Roman equivalent of Lady (a feminine form of Dominus, or "master of the house".)

Persona

• Imperial Roman era, around the reign of emperor Tiberius. She is a Greek freedwoman freed by and likely married to someone of the Volusus gens, and probably someone of the mid-low patrician class. Something like a local politician. She takes frequent vacations in Alexandria.

Activities

I like heraldry, and enjoy drawing for submissions. Here is the page of my contributions to the Traceable Heraldic Art Project: http://heraldicart.org/volusia-zoe/

My current main focus is metalworking and wire wrapping to make jewlery. I have amateurishly illuminated and scribed two books (a Calontir royal roll of arms and an original work), and I make all of my own garb and jewelry. I also have dabbled in embroidery, yarn spinning, cooking, glass blowing, and probably other things that I cannot remember.

As far as research goes, I greatly enjoy Ancient Egypt and Rome, but I also have very specific interests in a wide range of time periods.
