Kalispera!

I'm new, I'm here, and I'm heading over to the Greek pages. I have lurked as a guest for too long.

I'm working on an Athena re-enactment. I have a lot to learn. Ancient Hellas speaks to me. Someday I hope to learn why. For now, I will enjoy the ride!

Being Italian-American I picked up a simple book on Roman history and got hooked.

I'm not Italian (more closely related to the Icelanders you are currently residing among) but I too am hooked on Roman history. Welcome.

My fiance, Ratty has already posted a couple of times, but I was too shy at first

Glad to see you got over your shyness. Welcome aboard!

My real name is Larry Hopp Jr.


- where are you from? Michigan-SW area

- how'd you become interested in Rome? Dont know really always had an interest in the world before things became lets say chaotic as they are today and such.... The Romans were an amazing people in the early days so much accomplished. Although recently my interest leans more towards the greeks right now.

- why are you here? To learn what ever I can and if possible add to anothers quest for knowledge

- do you re-enact, are you a student, an academic professional, or..? Sticky question :? I do not re-enact nor am I a student atleast not of the history type. I do participate in the SCA-Society for Creative Anachronism.

A new recruit in the form of a Dutch bloke with a major interest in history (especially martial history), who stumbled onto this forum and just had to join!

Sometimes the most exciting discoveries we make in life are serendipitous. Glad to have you joining us.

My current area of interest is the late roman army (3rd - 5th century mainly) plus late and sub-roman britain.

I share your particular areas of interest. You'll find much to enjoy here at RAT.

Greetings everyone!

A few years ago I received a copy of Livy The Early History Of Rome…..I couldn’t put it down. This prompted me to take a classics class at OSU where I was exposed to the literal works of Virgil, Seneca, Terence, and Sallust. I am currently reading Polybius to learn more about the Punic Wars. My goal here is to learn more about the lives of the legionaries during one of their many campaigns, from hostilities to pure boredom. As for reenacting, this is somewhat foreign to me, however I am currently putting together a uniform starting with one of the basic components….the tunic.

Geoff.
