Avete!<br>
Staying up too late, Titus, or reading David Drake again, hee hee! And don't go dissing the Klingons, or I'll have to get out my batleth!<br>

Got infected with the Bronze Age bug again, recently, having found out that a fellow in England has a full reconstruction of the Dendra panoply. It is REALLY COOOOOOLLLLL.... So I'm fixing to grind the excess weight off the Del Tin Mycenaean sword that I got for my birthday, I'll get a couple boars' tusks from Moscow Hide and Fur, and there's a book with all the info on the Dendra stuff. Wicker and hide shield, new pair of shoes, etc. I'm building a Bronze Age page to add to my Hoplite site, it'll go up when I get a couple more photos and some real progress to add to it. What I end up with will probably be a pastiche of several different places and centuries, from 1400 BC to about 1000 BC. But who knows?<br>
<br>
Of course, in a couple weeks my hand-forged gladius hispaniensis blade will arrive, and my mood may swing back to the Roman Republic. So gotta work fast!<br>
