Nice. Thanks for posting these!

Mr Katsikis armour has also been on display at the Dumbarton Oaks Centre for Byzantine Studies. I can hardley wait until he has his own website.

Dimitris is making also Sassanide armor.

Here is my attempt on the "Latinikon regiment" in English.

Greetings to all members!

It's a really great and interesting site and forum!

Here is my personal blog, focused on Byzantine History, warfare, tower and castles.

[Brainstorm]

yes, it is deleted and the other one must be formed in a way to be readable..

[Robert Vermaat]

Had to repair the link. Nice blog btw!! If only I could read in in English...

[Gaius Julius Caesar]

Yes, it looks interesting! But I am a multi-linguistically illiterate english reader sadly...(I won't say too, because I know the majority of you can read quite a few languages)

[Brainstorm]

Thnx.

Unfortunately i don't have much time to translate every post,but there are summaries in english in several posts.

I think i should try a summary or a complete translation for every single of them...

[Peter Raftos]

I tend to use the google translator which gives a passable translation.
