Just a quick hello. I'm Matt Bunker, also known as Medicus Matt in late roman re-enactment circles.
If you've been to a late-roman re-enactment event in the UK over the last decade then you may have seen me up to my armpits in blood giving demonstrations of surgical techniques.
I've known Robert for...oooooh, quite a while, been a re-enactor for getting on for 20 years and, whilst running my own group 'ERA' (as I did until my unfortunate eye/arrow interface incident in 2006) I worked with Britannia, Comitatus, the Batavians, Alain and his Foederati, Derk and the Executioners (Exculcatores) and a few others. I even did shows at the ElfFair at Haarzuilens a couple of times.
Main interest these days is in the very end of Imperial control in Britain and the beginnings of England so I tend towards the foederati or germanic settler as far as portrayals are concerned...unless I'm slicing someone up on the operating table.
I've lurked here for a while now so thought it was about time I said hello properly.
So, hello.

Odd....I've sorted out my signature with my real name...why doesn't it appear? Robert? [size=150:17uuam2f]ROBERT![/size]...ahhh, sussed it. As you were.
