Avete, Amici:
I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Dr. Arik Greenberg and this is my first post on RAT. I am a club officer of the Legion VI Historical Foundation of Los Angeles, CA and am a scholar in the field of Religions of Antiquity. My specialty is early Christian literature and Second Temple Judaism within the context of the Greco-Roman world, but I have been active in the field of experimental archaeology for the last few years. Over the last few years, I have corresponded with M.C. Bishop on the subject of fashioning a Newstead cuirass using his blueprints and was the first to complete an example of it. I have an article forthcoming in his next volume of JRMES on the subject. He and I have corresponded about revisions of that reconstruction and after completing a second version, I am still in the process of writing an article on the details of that second version of the Newstead, which incorporates recent information about the 'Stillfried halfsets' of the girdle section of a Newstead segmentata.
Unfortunately, due to my schedule over the last two years, I was unable to spare a moment to actually open an account on RAT and begin to converse with my fellow enthusiasts. For that I am sorry and I am now trying to rectify that. So, I look forward to talking with and 'e-meeting' all of you. I thank you in advance for all your hospitaly.
Sincerely.
