Ummm...
I haven't said much lately, but...
For those of you in Greece. Since ancient Greece is the centerpiece of the tourist industry, and some how or another a trireme was built. (one of my wife's employees paid money to row the thing on vacation). I might put forward that a Hoplite group would add to the tourist attraction. I believe you have a Ministry of Tourism. Is it possible that if you, who live in Greece, founded a group, with representative members from different cities, that you may be able to get a grant to do this? Each group could adopt regional variations in equipment and such.
One of the best things about RAT Greek section is that the group is small and has a good personal cohesion. By this I mean its friendly and helpful. I may get some flack for this, but I started getting more interested in this forum because of the bickering and condescension of some (few) of the members more concerned with Roman issues. I hope we don't loose this friendly cohesion.
I hope you all make it to Nashville. I hope to meet most of you, and especially those who have gone out of their way to help me by posting things for me and corresponding privately. I am retired. The Greek group has given me enough incentive and initiative to go back to school and want to take Greek and some Museum Studies classes.
