Hello my name is Moncada Gabriel Martin and alive in the city of Seville,
Andalusia (Spain) my work is very different from archeology or old history, without I always engage this has been my passion. In the first pleases to thank for the being admitted in your great forum on the Roman equipment military, and I hope know to excuses our terrible one English, in most of the cases we have had to resort to a translator of the network. We lack unfortunately superior studies on the subject and our liking is limited the text reading and the direct observation of the objects in museums and particular collections, under we hoped know to pardon the possible errors that surely that they observed in our commentaries on the Roman equipment military. Single I am a great fan to the Roman fighting equipment, unfortunately in Andalusia the liking by the historical reconstruction of this period is nonexistent here, reason why we have had to be satisfied to the book study and visits to the different museums. This page is now for us, one magnifies form to learn more on equipment and Roman armament. A warm greeting.

Hello Gabriel,
Welcome to the forum. May all your questions be answered here. One thing - you must enter your name into the signature on your profile. It's a forum rule I'm afraid.

Gabriel, you are lucky to be able to find originals in Museums and such. In the United States it is very difficult to find originals and good books with originals in them.

Here in the States, Roman artifacts are few and far between!!! (Wow, two cliches in such a short message... I really must apologize.)

My name is Ioannis Georganas and I'm an archaeologist from Greece. Although I'm interested in ancient warfare in general, I'm specialised in the Aegean Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Ages weapons and warfare.

Hey,
I'm looking for a latin name for myself. I think is would be fun to translate my real name in latin + the city I live as cognomen. Just 1 little problem, I don't know latin :lol: "Jo Vansteenkiste van Wervik (Viroviacum)" / "Joe of the stone coffin from Wervik" Would that be something like "Ioannis Lapisarcus (Lapis + arca?) Viroviacensis"? Or is that realy bad latin? ("Joe" doesn't have a latin translation I gues, but my patron saint is Johannes/John + "Steenkiste" was a little village in the dark ages, were my ancestors came from, so I presume I shouldn't translate it, but "Steenkistencis" sounds even worse then "Lapisarcus" :wink: ) Thanks in advance for the aid!

Welcome aboard Jo! Can I suggest: Viromandus?
Stated that the Viromandui were a people of the Gallia Belgica, and probably your city name comes from that? Vale,

Quote:Welcome aboard Jo! Can I suggest: Viromandus? Salve Titus, The Viromandui lived more south-east. Viroviacum was a smal vicus in the soutern Menapi-region, about halfway on the ancient roman road between Castellum Menapiorum (Cassel - France) and Turnacensium (Tournai - Belgium). The oldest name known name is Virovino (on the Peutinger map), according to the legend called after Verovos (="strong man"?), the chief of the village during the Bello Gallico. So "from Virovicum" can't realy be translated as "Viromandus" I think... But thanks for the suggestion! For my nomen gentile I was thinking about "Sarcofagus" ("stone coffin"), more as inside joke... :wink: Vale, Ioannus
