I'll be honest and say I haven't read your book, but i've looked it up and looks to be excellent, i'm sure i'll be getting it at some point! Hope you enjoy your time here Big Grin

Hi James, welcome to RAT.

I just checked out your website, great photos and very informative. I also purchased a copy of your book, "Soldier of Rome: The Legionary". I look forward to reading it. Smile

Again welcome!

Welcome James !!

Since I think there is too few fiction books (or non-fiction too) about Roman military, in my opinion, I'll look forward to aquire your book.

Currently about to finish Colleen McCullough monster series, so looking for new books...especially with Roman military aspect.

Hi all

My name is Matt, and I am a 4th year chemistry Ph.D. candidate. I have a wife and son (guess which loves Rome and which doesn't!) who give me an excuse to leave my cave (lab) every now and then.

I have been interested in the ancient world for as long as I can remember. I mainly focus on Rome, in part because we have so much more documentation than for many other ancient civilizations.

I don't do any reenacting now, but when I am no longer constrained by a student's budget I would like to get involved somehow.

I have lurked on this board for quite a while and enjoy learning from all of you.

Greetings to all the new guys! (no new gals, though Sad )

James, I'm curious about your book but having trouble getting to your site. It says the site isn't there. I'll try again later.

Hi I am a completly new member with absoulutly no experience on RAT! :oops: I was turned on to this site by my friend Dan Mohr. Here he is known as Dan M.

I am 12 years old and am from Illinois (pronounced "Illinoy") in the United States.

I am very interested in reenactment, and ancient Greek battle stratagies and I feel I could lead a force of 80 men into battle with the "Phalanx position" 8)
