Hi, my name is Andy. I actually have gone by the screen name 'sulla' on a lot of other forums but felt it was presumptuous here. I am very interested in Roman history around the end of the republic. Of course I read the MCullough books years ago (which got me into the genre) but it only spiraled out from there into full blown historical research (of a hobby bent.)
I have made oodles of maille both butted and riveted, dabbled in the SCA, costuming, and am very big in TV and movie prop replica creating/collecting. I've decided to join here to learn, and to build. I want to create a Roman persona complete with military gear, of about 100-0BC. I was leaning towards Patrician, but am not sold as I love hamata.
Thanks for having me!
