Roman helmets in the movies, an article.

A PDF article with a resume of the roman helmets used in the movies (in spanish).

Valete,
TITVS/Daniele Sabatini

... Tu modo nascenti puero, quo ferrea primum
desinet ac toto surget Gens Aurea mundo,
casta faue Lucina; tuus iam regnat Apollo ...

Well, it is my own fault for being an uneducated lout, knowing only one language (barely) and a few words in some others... :oops:

However...

Is there any change someone will produce (or find) a translation of this article? :?

It looks to be very interesting. Smile

Thanks for posting it Titus. :wink:

Well, if you use Windows 98 or later, you should be able to go to the webpage, right click on the text and "translate this page into English". It's a rough translation sometimes, but you should be able to get the general idea.

Short of that, there's http://babelfish.altavista.com/tr in which you can copy blocks of text and translate from language to language. Again, not perfect, but sometimes it gets you there.

I never seem to have any luck when trying to have babelfish translate a .pdf, or when trying to "grab" and "paste" from a .pdf. Maybe I should actually buy a copy of Adobe. Tongue

When you open the .pdf, click on File "Save as text", and it saves a copy of the info (not the pictures, of course) in notepad, as a .txt file. You can copy blocks of that text to translator programs.

Thanks Demetrius! Smile

Babel Fish did a quick if rough translation -- certainly good enough to understand the flow of the article and the main points.

Ah Douglas Adams -- no reason to panic here.

Thanks again!

You're welcome. seemed like a good idea to let you know about.

Hey, CF, I don't own Adobe, either. Things being as they are, I can barely afford to pay attention, let alone buy expensive software! Hope all is going well with you.
