Duncan's interest in Roman history grew from a "general interest in ancient civilizations."

The largest and most encompassing of those civilizations to Duncan was always the Romans. Mike became especially interested in Roman history while reading his grandfather's paperback version of Edward Gibbon 's The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.
