Re: New recruits - Greenskin - 10-07-2008 Hay everyone, Im 30, come from Australia and have been in the Australian Army -(INFANTRY) for 13 yrs. I presently hold the rank of corporal (section commander) at the First Recruit Training Battalion as a Recruit Instuctor. Love anything to do with the Roman Army. Anyway, hope to here from you blokes soon! Regards Decanus Greenskin Re: New recruits - Nihonius Legio - 10-07-2008 Quote:Nihonius Legio:c34ogvu9 Wrote:Hi everyone. I go by the name nickname "Nihon" usually, but since this is a Roman forum, I Latinized it as Nihonius Legio. The "Legio" part standing for my love of ancient warfare, especially Roman. I only just got my first coins in the mail yesterday actually. They are Byzantine cup-coins. Not the best quality, but I knew that when I bought them. I;'ve never been able to win an auction for anything good :x I'llprobably get stuff more expensive through "buy now" option to get stuff. I think i'm going to start going for lots of uncleaned coins and get tools to clean them up. It would be like unwrapping a present at Christmas! Revealing an ancient beauty and art, so awesome! Thanks for the replys everyone. Good luck to you all in everything you do. Re: New recruits - fasta - 10-07-2008 Quote:Hay everyone, Welcome to the site you will find lots of interesting posts covering the time period from the Republic to the end of the Empire. Enjoy. Re: New recruits - Virtus Probi Invicti - 10-07-2008 Quote:I only just got my first coins in the mail yesterday actually. They are Byzantine cup-coins. Not the best quality, but I knew that when I bought them. I;'ve never been able to win an auction for anything good :x You might try www.vcoins.com for higher quality stuff, it's a site with listings from multiple dealers. I've purchased a few things there with no issues, and I know a number of the dealers from other places and they are top notch. Some activity on a thread here inspired me to look for particular coins there, and I ordered two on Friday...one showed up yesterday, which amazed me. eBay has been pretty dead as far as my interests go for some time, and good stuff does go for high prices there. Good luck! Re: New recruits - Morloi - 10-08-2008 Ave! Here is Morloi (aka Alessandro Grazioli) from Italy, proud member of Legio XII Fulminata. ^_^ Re: New recruits - Jeroen Pelgrom - 10-08-2008 hi Alessandro, welcome to RAT! Re: New recruits - Francois - 10-09-2008 Hi ! I am François, a French student from Paris, starting this year a thesis for PhD about the Roman military history. My subject is the supply of the Roman armies during the Civil Wars (49-30 BC), as my previous work (for my Master degree) was about the supply of the legions during the Gallic War. I joined here on the recommandation of Jonathan P. Roth, who told me to get in touch with the Society of Ancient Military Historians. He said that I might find some interesting contacts ! And I think he was right : a quick look at the many topics on this forum show me how interesting it could be to have some little chats here ! Anyway, I am glad to be here and I will try to come as often as possible !
