New recruits

[Screaming Eagle]

Ave contubernalii! My name's Jack and I've been interested in Ancient Rome for years. I'm 15, from the UK and am thinking of getting into Roman reenacting. Looks like a great forum and it looks like I'll have a great time on here. Cheers, Jack

Welcome, Jack! Good to see a prospective re-enactor. Not sure how far they are from you, but do a Google search for the Ermine Street Guard.

I'm interested more in the post Marian Republic period of the Roman army or the conquest of Britain (hence the II Augusta avatar). I'm pretty sure the former are pretty thin on the ground with respect to groups, but any advice would be great. And I'll look up the Ermine Street Guard, they're quite famous in the UK so I have considered them. Thanks

Welcome Jack!!!
Have never you taken part in the reenactment? Have you roman material?

I hope that you enjoy very much here in RAT!!!! :wink:

[Screaming Eagle]

I've not got any kit as yet, it's a big financial outlay as I'm sure you're all aware, so I want to feel around a bit before I get involved

Glad to have you joining us. One of the great things about being young is that you have your entire lifetime of growing and learning (about Rome) ahead of you!

Hail, my friends..
i am Adrian and i am new to this wonderful forum. I hope i can both learn something and contribute...
I have been living in Sweden for nearly three years, and together with my good friend Martin ( Tjena Gubben!) Have formed a fledgling society based on Cohors IIII Dalmaticus. Looking forward to meeting you all!

Well, then why not become a member of Legio II Augusta? They're sort of Hampshire-based (but with members all over the UK and abroad), and as a former member of the legion I can tell you they're a nice bunch!

Apparently this is a good page for introductions! My Roman Name is Sextus Galerius Dolabella. My real name is Robert Wear and I am Centurion of the new group LEGIO V ALAUDAE in Knoxville TN. I have been making Roman Gear for about 4 years now but I didn't have a serious group or really meet other reenactors (other than my Roman friends in Knoxville) until last year. Our group has about 8 reliable members and growing. I met Saul at Castra Romana about 2 weeks ago and hes a great guy. I hope to get to know as many fellow Romans as i can!

If you want to look at our website (possibly Link it to your own site) I would very much appreciate it!

An interesting hobby. I applaud your desire to be as historically accurate as possible. You will find a community here at RAT strongly devoted to the same principle.

I think this has it fixed. Is this proper? I need to go over the rules again. I read them when i first joined, but then i didn't really post anything for about 4 months.

[Praefectusclassis]

That is fine Robert. Thanks!

Howdy Robert, welcome to RAT.
