ROMEC 2005 - Vlad the Impala - 09-04-2005 still in Hungary having attended Romec. A mixed bag of items. Some of which I found very interesting and others...................... not so interesting. highlights for me were Mike Bishop and David Sim talking about the Carlisle armour-- Carol van Driel-Murray on shoes Guy Stiebels presentation on equipment from judea these especially will mean some changes to the way we think about Roman military equipment also interesting a hand held ballista from xanten florian himmler did a good presentation on hob-nail wear and Ramshaw boots and some new images for the database couple of standard bearers some cavalry infantry and cornu (x3) from aquincum Re: ROMEC 2005 - Robert Vermaat - 09-04-2005 Did you attend the session of the newly found/reconstructed Late Roman helemt (it was the logo of this ROMEC event)? late roman helmet - Vlad the Impala - 09-04-2005 yep-- there was some modern stuff as well a couple a papers about late Roman helmets, including one having been recently restored. Re: ROMEC 2005 - Robert Vermaat - 09-04-2005 Do you have the Late Roman papers/images and would it be possible to send me any? Re: ROMEC 2005 - Vlad the Impala - 09-04-2005 ill be in touch when i get back- Re: ROMEC 2005 - Robert Vermaat - 09-04-2005 Thanks!!! Re: ROMEC 2005 - Praefectusclassis - 09-04-2005 Sounds like you had a good time! We'll have to ask all attendees to make reports! the shoes - richsc - 09-05-2005 Did Van Driel Murray mention a forthcoming book? book - Vlad the Impala - 09-07-2005 nope- cant recall Carol Van Driel Murray mentioning a book-- although one about Roman shoes would be good!!! Re: ROMEC 2005 - Flavius Promotus - 09-07-2005 I found the ROMEC XV very positive. The Hungarians worked hard to organise it and make it virtually 'palatable'. Service was great and you should have seen the bufet at the Historical Museum. If they wanted to show themselves as a civilised and hospitable people they were certainly successful ! Some of the presentations were really thrilling (especially Michael Bishop and David Sim), while some were more a good opportunity to give your mind a rest... :? On the whole I learned quite something and met many nice people. The day trip to Esztergom, Visegrad and the Szentendre Sziget was not bad, either. You could almost see some kind of Pavlov mass reaction when the guide announced a ROMAN... [great attention for a second] ...CATHOLIC CHURCH. [spreading disappointment] The ruins of an old castle at Visegrad were not completely uninteresting (good view over the Danube), but the remnants of a late Roman fortress nearby attracted definitely more attention. ("look, a fan shaped tower !!!") Next ROMEC (XVI) is scheduled for 2007 at Xanten, probably in connection with 'Brot und Spiele'.

Re: ROMEC 2005 - aitor iriarte - 09-08-2005 I don't know what was I thinking of when I voted for having our Roman yearly festival in September... around the date of ROMECs...! :x Aitor Re: ROMEC 2005 - Robert Vermaat - 09-08-2005 If ROMEC is held in connection with a Brot und Spiele event, it won't be held in September but probably in June. Re: ROMEC 2005 - aitor iriarte - 09-08-2005 Quite right! I haven't had my coffee dosis yet! Aitor Re: ROMEC 2005 - Iagoba - 06-29-2009 Sorry for necro-threading :oops: But I found the poster of the helmet mentioned above: I thought it wasn´t completed until now. :wink: |
