Wellcome all!
Don´t be afraid of the lack of equipment, I started with my grandpa´s sandals (quite old, but not Roman), a (half sinthetic) tunic made by my mom, and no more.
And year and half later, I´m able to do butted mail wink: It´s not what you have, but what you learn
-This new learning amazes me, Sir Bedevere. Explain again how
sheep´s bladders may be employed to prevent earthquakes.

Hello everybody,
I'm from the Netherlands (Amsterdam to be precise). You can just call me "muizer". I took latin in school, which probably accounts for my interest in all things Roman. I've got an Msc in earth sciences, which accounts for my interest in terrain models. I'm an environmental consultant in "real life", which accounts for my (lack of) finances. In my spare time I captain the Rome Total Realism team, creating modifications for the PC game Rome Total War. That doesn't account for anything except a lot of time.

Hello to everyone:
I hail from the mysterious outpost of Mechanicsburg Pennsylavania here in the USA. I was in the US Army for 11 years and now work as a CPA for one of the biggest public accounting firms in the world.
My interest in all things ancient were picqued when my parents took me to Rome for Christmas 1980. I saw Pope John Paul II give his Christmas welcoming. I also got to tour the catacombs and walk the Colloseum- amazing place for cat fans. My interests waned as I became a teenager. I took my family to the Chicago museum of natural history and saw the Ancient Egyptian exhibit and that sealed it. I have been voraciously devouring everything related to Rome and the ancient world.
My goal upon retirement (I am currently 36) is to take my wife and kids around to see all the wonderful sites of the ancient world. A friend of mine, who is a fellow toy soldier collector, gave me his entire library of books about Rome absolutely free!! There are nearly 200 books with various scopes from fiction to hard core academia and span mostly the years of the Empire.
I look forward to reading everyones posts and adding some comments of value (I hope) myself.
Cheers
CC

VERY cool. I wish I had friends as nice as that. Welcome to the forums! If you ever want to part with those, let me know.

There's a few guys around here with signature pictures. Some of their sigs can get rather big and I haven't seen anything mentioned since I've been here.

Signature pics are okay, provided they're not too immodest (no flashing gifs please...)

I joined at the beginning of the month, but I didn't notice this until now, so here goes.
I am from New York, but from the rural part of the state, not the big city with which everyone is familiar.
I don't remember when I became interested in Rome, but I became interested in the Greeks and the Carthaginians when I was a little kid, I don't remember why.
I am here because my curiosity about Carthage led me to www.livius.org , which links to www.ancient-warfare.com , and when I was Googling the Ancient Warfare page to subscribe, I stumbled across this, and it turns out this page is a nice resource to interact with people who know a lot about the things I'm most interested in.
I am not a student anymore (I have a degree in print journalism), and that's part of the reason why I like RAT. The opportunity to learn from authors and professors of ancient history is something I greatly appreciate.
