Quote:Welcome all newcomers to the Legions!
Make yourself at home with your fellow milites and tell us a little bit about yourself, such as...
- where are you from?
- how'd you become interested in Rome?
- why are you here?
- do you re-enact, are you a student, an academic professional, or..?
If you've posted once, you're considered a R.A.T. member, so climb aboard and enjoy the forum.

my name is jason, im in the army serving in afghanistan and thats about all of that im going to discuss about all that for opsec. im jaded with the modern army to say the least, were it that war was fought with sweat and steal, with some honor in it, but this...eh, i digress
im roman (italian), my family is from the napoli area, the legio II adiutrix pia fidelis was commissioned in 66-67 ad under nero in misenum modern day capo miseno, thats just down the way from napoli so maybe some ancestor served or maybe i did and im just a reconstituted roman? now for the weird part, before i new all this, my wife acquired me a ring unearthed from moesia and it turns out that the legIIapf was there in moesia at that time during the dacian wars?! interesting huh? i thought so :wink:
