Quote: Nice to find others interested or rather besotted with the Romans. I have always been fascinated and now have a nice collection of collectables and artefacts, many replicas such as the range of helmets and armour which adourn my office. Though I would love an authentic helmet or sword, the $300,000 price tags are somewhat out of reach."Besotted" is a very picturesque image, and probably quite accurate. I share your sentiments above. I find it very "inspirational" to be surrounded in my office by historical items. And, like you, my budget limits me to replicas and modest artifacts. Welcome to RAT.
