Greetings to the RAT community and hail to the lions, for many and new years!
I'm from Helsinki, Finland. I become interested - no, obsessed - with Rome during my childhood, when our family spent our vacations in Rome and Lazio. I ended up being a ancient history buff, student of classical archeology, role-player and web designer.
Now I'm planning to start re-enacting late Roman period. Luckily my spouse is a craft teacher interested in weaving, spinning and knitting! I think I'll to start with a few tunics, socs and other garments suitable for a 3rd-4th Century civilian and then consider obtaining weapons and other paraphernalia.
I'm here because of the warm community I have felt, and original research I so much admire.
Here's a little picture of me, from a quite different time period:
