N. American Roman Military Conference/Seminar, feasibility

[richsc]

I think there is interest in a North American Roman Military conference/seminar, so Matt Amt's Legio XX is determining the feasibility of hosting such an event in conjunction with our Roman Days event in 2005. Hopefully, the board of the Journal of Ancient Military Studies will agree to their imprimatur.<br>
I am not sure that a full conference could be arranged in only one year; there is a lot of scheduling that has to go on for any conference, but a strong seminar is entirely practical.<br>
<br>
I would like any conferenence/seminar to be successful, so I'd like to ask the RAT members what they would consider to be the main success points of such a conference. Dr. Bishop has already suggested that a mix of half academics and half reenactors makes for a lively and successful mix.<br>
If it is at all possible, the attendance of Dr. Bishop will be a primary goal.<br>
Since this is wide open, what would be topics and events that you would like to see that would be of interest to you, and to your groups? What sort of seminars would you like to have? Consider at this point for the floor to be wide open.<br>
