New Recruit (...or a wannabe, at least). - Anonymous - 06-17-2003
Ave, all!<br>
<br>
Ah, Roman-minded types! At last I've found you.<br>
<br>
I'm a secondary school history teacher in Ontario, and have been in love with Rome since I was a kid. I used to read Conan comics and would sigh wistfully that our own world history "didn't have" anything like Aquilonia in its past (silly me!) -- then one day I stumbled across a Roman history book and realized that we did! I've been addicted ever since.<br>
<br>
Question to anyone from my area: I'm interested in getting into some re-enacting but don't know of any Legions in my area. Can anyone help? (Ontario or New York?)<br>
<br>
Well, that's it for now. Thanks for reading.<br>

Hey Irwin, welcome to RAT.<br>
<br>
I know what you mean about past lives. I was a dressmaker from 1812 in a former life. I made necklaces out of people's toes, and dresses out of their toe jam. It could've been worse I suppose. <p>Magnus/Matt<br>

Salve,<br>
I am the only Roman in Roseburg I believe!<br>
<br>
There are an organized few in Portland...Legio II Augusta is in Portland (legioii.org/), very helpful in supplying me with aid in making my gear.<br>
<br>
Should you get the urge to get into reenacting, drop me a line, I can use all the help I can get! <p></p><i></i>
Re: NEW RECRUITS - Anonymous - 07-03-2003
Hi, I'm from Ohio, 15 years old. I'm interested in many periods of history, most recently Rome. Having an interest in the early history of the Catholic Church I spent 2 days watching Roman Empire programs on the History Channel and now I am hooked. I probably won't post much, just here to learn more about Rome. I have taken the name of my favorite Emperor, Constantine. <p>† In Hoc Signo Vinces †</p><i></i>
Another beginner - Anonymous - 07-03-2003
I am English, have re-enacted since 1983 first WWII German, Then WW1 German and latterly American Civil War Union 4th US Regulars both in England and on holidays in the USA.<br>
<br>
However I have been rather remiss in my re-enacting recently, instead I have collected, Roman mainly, coins, brooches, rings, arrow & spearheads etc anything interesting Roman that came along - and at least in the UK we can be thankful that 400 odd years of occupation left plenty of treasures for us to find.<br>
<br>
I am just now starting to seriously think about re-enacting Roman, at 47 summers Im no spring chicken and so whilst prepared to don the armour for non strenuous duties I think I would prefer to do a civilian Impression - perhaps a politician - someone everyone can hate!<br>
<br>
I always reply to e mails and am looking for advice on where to get good kit - I see a lot on E bay but much of it looks wrong?<br>
