Salve!! Yep.. I've written already an intro about myself, but feel it is a little lacking, so here is the longer version. I am 17 and will be hopefully going to university next year to study Classical Civilization. I am from the UK ( thought I would mention it as I did not realise how international this site is!) I have never re-enacted before, but would like to in the future, when at university, which will be Warwick ( I hope!) A few quick questions:<br>
Archery- was it used at all in the Roman army?? I would have thought it was a bit barbaric, and thought of as not an 'honest' way to fight.<br>
Is there on this site a live discussion, like debates where people are on-line to comment and be informative??<br>
Lastly... I am literature orientated more as I have not studied a lot of ancient history at school, is it OK to back up ideas in the forum with a literature example?? Thought I might have to ask, as I realise the annoyance of having a perfectly good debate ruined by possibly irrelevant comments.<br>
Thank you for reading this nonsense...hope I will write more in the future.....Skamandrios <p></p><i></i>
