Hi everyone, My name is Andy Kennedy, and i'm extremely interested in Egyptian to Roman-era history. I came across this site looking for information regarding costuming and designing authentic clothing from the era using all the authentic materials.
I am very learned in the history regarding Rome from its founding to its fall, and would really look forward to talking to anyone with information on where I can get the custom tailoring done or how to do it myself.
Thanks
Cheers,
Imperator and Proconsul Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus
Roman Emperor Nero

Salve Andy, in addition to RAT, it looks like you're in Virginia: if you're near the DC area you're close to us Legio XX folks. You're entirely welcome at one of our monthly fabrica.
You just missed Roman Days, which was a great success (photos in the thread in Events). Feel free to PM or email me or Matt Amt.

Hi there
I'm new to the idea of these forums, so if I make any mistakes you'll have to forgive me - I'll do my best not to make the same one twice! :oops:
I always answer to the nickname I got in University, which is Sonic, but my real name's Ian (Hughes).
I know a little bit about Roman History, having an MA in the subject, but it was a long time ago and very far away....
I am really looking forward to taking part in the forum and hope to learn lots!

I had a similar experience when stationed in England. Being able to actually visit sites that previously had only been photographs, was an inspiring opportunity.

Glad to have you aboard... but I do have to confess that your allegiance to (or identification with?) Nero leaves me a bit concerned about your state of mind...

It's nice to have a nickname that one appreciates. Just last night I met a pilot whose "handle" is "Not So." Didn't make sense until I found out his last name is "Quick." Not very nice of his friends if you ask me.

A fascinating period. Some of the experts here are quite familiar with that epoch as well. I know you'll enjoy the friends you make here at RAT.

Hi Franck, welcome to the forum.
Might that Late Roman group have been.. the Foederati? :wink:
