Hello,
My name is Benjamin and I am glad join the forum.
I became interested in Rome a few years back, and have researched Roman military history as a hobby ever since.
Though I don't currently re-enact, I would like to get into it. I've played around a bit with making shields, so far my only completed one being a parma. Since I don't have a very large budget and enjoy slinging, I'd like to recreate a light auxiliary slinger such as the one on Trajan's Column. I've also given thought to recreating a Balearic slinger from the Second Punic War.
I have looked around on this forum for a while, and found lots of helpful and interesting information. I'm excited to take part in discussions about ancient history!
