Gaaf! If they're only half up to scratch, it might make an interesting series.<br>
BTW I see Grummatius's stone is in the Leiden museum, can any of our Leidenaars make a pic? The stone in the churchtower of Dodewaard must be a copy. <p>Greets<br>

Let's complete this foursome of elite Dutch-speaking perfecti..<br>
<br>
I'm looking forward to it. I got hold of a Teleac leaflet with a web address on it ( www.teleac/romeinenbataven ), but that's still a 404 error, even today. Sloppy. The [url=http://www.teleacnot.nl/sites/romeinenenbataven/" target="top]actual site[/url] looks quite nice, but with stupic mistakes.<br>
I'm of course rightly disappointed that the producers failed to choose the Houten/Bunnik area of the Fectio fort as a topic. Houten does show up on the map, but (again, sloppy), upstream from Vechten/Bunnik, halfway between Wijk bij Duurstede. I can tell you all for a fact it's not located there (it's actually to the southwest of Vechten) .. And they write Hadrian as "Hadraianus" (sigh )<br>
<br>
I sure hope they didn't botch up the series in this manner, or else there will be a great gnashing of teeth!<br>
<br>
Did anyone get the Roman version of [url=http://www.omroep.nl/nps/hetklokhuis/romeinen/romeinen.html" target="top]Klokhuis[/url] march 3rd? I found it hilarious..<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

<br>
PS, the ROB thinks the Houten area so important that they honoured it (as only the 2nd yet) with a great [url=http://houten.archeologienet.nl/indexmain.cfm" target="top]website[/url]. Navigate with the map and you'll find great descriptions of all the archaeological sites in Houten, including of course the Roman ones, with text and pictures. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub45.ezboard.com/bromanarmytalk.showUserPublicProfile?gid=vortigernstudies>Vortigern Studies</A> at: 3/15/03 12:56:34 am<br></i>

In today's episode it was stated that many military artifacts have been found in a Batavian settlement near Tiel (40kms west of Nijmegen on the north bank of the Waal river). Apparently Batavian soldiers brought (parts of) their equipment back home after service. Another indication for the ownership of equipment? <p>Greets<br>

I wonder how they'd establish that this equipment was in fact 'brought home' by veterans who finished their service. Or is this purely speculation, based on the notion that the site was a farm and Roman soldiers on active duty are not supposed to be there? That would be a little unscientific. Rather, I'd hoped they'd come up with alternatives why this equipment should have been found there. Maybe it was a metal repair shop?<br>

Salve,<br>

The finds of military equipment at the <em>Tempel van Empel</em> complex and a native burial site in Noord-Brabant (Someren IIRC) have yielded military equipment that has been taken as an indication that retired soldiers from these areas brought along weaponry and equipment after service. Military equipment could be dedicated by serving soldiers as well though, and there is an inscription of a centurion dedicating a <em>lancea</em> and <em>scutum</em>.<br>

heh heh, you weren't the only ones used without so much as a 'thank you mam'..<br>
As it happens, even though half of the 'historical' scenes were shot at ARCHEON, there's no mention of it in the credits...<br>
I'll check the book for any references to you guys.<br>

Nope, you're not in the book, nor is there a picture of you there. You were portrayed on the leaflet, I gather completely without giving permission! <br>
