Ave, fellow RATs.
I joined RAT a few days ago and have been posting a bit already, but I haven't yet done the introductions.
My name is David Sullivan and I live in Lynnwood, WA, (just north of Seattle) USA. I found Romanarmy.com and RAT by chance while looking something up on the Internet--it seems that one always finds the best things when looking for something else.
I've always been a bit of a Rome junkie, so this Web site is like pure dope to me. I've been a miniature wargamer and dilettante historian for almost 30 years. My avatar is a scan from my old, yellowed copy of Michael Simkins' The Roman Army from Caesar to Trajan (Osprey 1974), which was my first ever book on the Roman army.
The later period of the empire is the one I find most fascinating from every aspect: military, social, and political.
I am not a reenactor, but I am fascinated by it. I may yet succumb to the temptation, but for now I might just pick up a few items as collectibles and curios.
I'm glad I've found you all and plan to stay.
