Thought I'd better introduce myself here...started reading page 1 then realised they are all a year old (Australis still here? Any other Aussies?)..<br>
I'm doing a postgrad diploma in classics with Latin as my major strand, have a widely varied range of interests including Roman personal poetry, Catullus, Military history especially the Gallic wars. A bit of a problem as with my Scottish parentage a part of me always sides with the barbarians! (Didn't you just love the German chieftan at the start of Gladiator!) Have a fledgeling interest in gaming, partly out of interest in understanding historical battles.<br>
Despite really enjoying a Mediaeval tournament in Brisbane a couple of years ago, I'd never really considered re-enactment a I felt females always looked so anachronistic. Anyway I'm not athletic, and I figure there are probably enough wives and girlfriends hanging about to do the domestic duties....<br>
I'd be interested in hearing from other women involved in re-enactment.<br>

cheers<br>
