Finnaly I hope the other members enjoy my work and that acts and a further source of pleasure to all that are interest in ancient history (speccilay Roman and Greek).

Brand new to the Forum, Fairly new to the Empire - Marcus Julius - 06-24-2006
Hi. Like the subject line says, I'm fairly new to the whole Roman thing. This is also my very first post into here. I just got done browsing through the helmet database, and decided this is a resource place I needed.
A little bit about my background with Rome. I took 2 years of Latin in High School (nearly all of which, I've forgotten). When I joined the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) over 10 years ago, I chose a Roman persona then because of fascination I gained for it in that class. Well, I only actually attended a few meetings and one event with the SCA and due to location and other things I was involved with, the whole reenactment thing took a back seat. Last summer, I joined back up with them, and decided again to pursue a Roman persona. My studies are geared toward all things military. I fight heavy combat with the SCA, and have dabbled in armor construction. As soon as I'm able to do some casting, I'll be making a Corbridge Segmentata (haven't decided on A or B yet) from raw materials up.
I look forward to picking some brains around here :lol:
To start off, anyone know where can I find some pictures of Regalia (shield decor, vexillum, etc.) related to the 8th legion?

Re: New recruits - Ming - 06-26-2006
ello,
I was directed to this site by Marcus Mummius (another registered person with RAT), who is a fellow archaeology student of me here in Leuven so I know him pretty well. He's also the one who told me various things about re-enactment.
Looks like a good quantity of knowledgeable people visit this board, nice :wink:
Re: New recruits - Robert Vermaat - 06-26-2006
Hi MIng,
Welcome to the forum, I hope you'll like it here.
Is Ming your real name? If not, please eneter your real name into your signature. I'm afraid that's a rule on this forum.
Change of Username - Medusa Gladiatrix - 07-03-2006
Salvete Omnes,
I just changed my name from Gaia Aelia to my more catchy arena name Medusa. Not that you get confused, I'm still the same, the gladiatrix from Hamburg, North Germany. :lol:

Quote:current C.W. reenacter, 57th Va. ANV have pledged allegiance to legio VI Ferrata Fidelas Constans and centurio justus longinus.Welcome. I share your dual interests (though I don't reenact). I host websites for my great-grandfather's regiment, the Fifth Iowa Cavalry, and my wife's great-great-grandfather's, the Fifth Iowa Infantry. If you're curious, you can see them at the New Scriptorium.

I am also interested in several aspects of medieval history, including in particular the Crusades and monasticism. Welcome.
In the process I hope to make know to others members my work and hope to receive critics that can improve my work.

The good doctors never bash us, of course. The wonderful thing is that they freely (and modestly) share their knowledge with everyone at RAT. I've learned more here in just a few months than I did during years of study. Welcome. Oh, by the way, I'd be curious to hear what career path you're on with a BA in History?

Re: New recruits - bobthecenturion - 07-06-2006
I am Bob (for I have not yet chosen a Roman name), a multi-period reenactor. Since the 78th Highlanders (French and Indian War) are not active during the Fall, Winter, and part of the Spring, I've decided to raise a Legionary Cohort in Ottawa. I've got a lot of research to do, but I am capable of making just about any item necessary, thanks to my proximity to the South Tower Armouring Guild.
I've contacted Legio XXX in Fonthill, Ontario (Canada) about reenactment, and I'll probably end up being their fourth cohort. Matt has been extremely helpful.
Since I know how to make Segmentata already, I figured I could try to outfit a unit in it, while expanding into the world of sandals and shields. I've got a fair amount of coarse linen to work with as well.
As I said, I'm brand new to this and I still need to get much research done.
