Quote:Some stipulations off of the top of my head could be: years as a roman reenactor, number of items accurately constructed, peer recomendation, academic in the field or Roman history...
It could be done. One other possibility is that the forum could be viewed by anyone, but only posted on by those who meet the qualifications.
Matt, this could be great, but i see it too difficult to work. How would you prove being an academic? Just by being an historian? Or an antiquity historian? Would someone check your cv? And what about all the non historians here that have an incredible knowledge on the subject? Peer recomendation leads to the influence of powerful groups, to appearance of lobbyes. Items constructed? You can have a vast knowledge about the item but be useless with a hammer. Years as a roman reenactor? Other thing difficult to prove. Being a reenactor in a unknow group in a far away country counts?
An really, the people filling this conditions would not be many, and most of them not willing to collaborate with suppliers... so this section of the marketplace would be dead.
But this is the humble point of view of a newby :grin:
