Childhood in the Roman Empire

[DAN OF BRITANNIA]

Sorry chaps this appeared in October's History Today (should've let you know sooner):

Ray Laurence considers how children were seen in ancient Rome and looks at some of the harsher aspects of childhood – sickness, violence and endless work.

Hi Dan,
Good to see you on this forum!

[DAN OF BRITANNIA]

Hello mate... well it's good to be here in such distinguished company.

(Spent a lot of time on a general re-enactment forum, but decided to come and play with the Romans, conversation seems more relevant to my interest and interests after all).

Did you ever get your Draco sorted BTW?

[Graham Sumner]

Hello Dan, Shadrake I presume.

I have sent you a PM (Private message) and an e mail to your Britannia site but have had no reply. Could you please get in contact with me. Thanks.

Graham.

[DAN OF BRITANNIA]

Hello Graham

Yep, tis I.

I haven't been at home much (I assume you sent it to my home PC)

But I'll check tonight

Your latest book is doing the rounds in our group.... never seen so many wannabe Byzantines in our ranks!

(Excellent job mate).
