Welcome Stefan - Primitivus - 11-21-2006
Quote:My name is Stefan, I'm from southern Germany, age 33. Since 5 years I do living history as a barbarian alamannus...Glad to have you joining us at RAT... although, for the life of me, I can't understand what Germans and Barbarians have to do with one another. Might someone enlighten me as to the connection? (And when you do, please keep in mind that my own ethnic heritage is more than a quarter Germanic!)
Hello - The Eagle - 11-21-2006
Hi,
My name is Paul T and I am just starting out in Roman re-enactment. I live in Yorkshire, UK. I would be very grateful for any advice on getting kit together for mid 1st century to mid 2nd century. This is my First Post, I hope it's not the Last.
Cheers.

Re: New recruits - Ulfwin - 11-22-2006
O Primitivus,
thanks for your welcome. What Germans have to do with barbarians? They write books abou them :lol: , no, sorry. I have some trouble with my English here and don't know how to express what I meanand my thoughts were maybe like that: "I do an Alamannus early fifth century. Ah, but not a Roman soldier, but in his homeland or what he's trying to make his land, oh what the hell, call him barbarian and these Romans will understand what you mean."
My dictionary says I'd better use the term Teutonic, but for me these are earlier then the Alamanni, German is the modern inhabitant of Germany, the tribal name Alamannen is for those who speak French or Spanish not very far from their word for modern Germany. Allright, but it seems, that the term Germanic is quite clearly separated from the modern Germans, so I will use Germanic instead of Barbarian, and for my Alamannus I will use the latin words. We modern Germans are still a bit difficult in the handling of expressions like Germanic or Teutonic because of that little madman from Austria who set the world on fire some sixty years ago. But we're slowly growing out of it, I hope.
Cheers,
Stefan

Unfortunately, both of mine were at the very opposite end of the inspiring--boring spectrum. Best of luck with your final studies and preparation for graduation.

Germanic Barbarians - Primitivus - 11-22-2006
Quote:O Primitivus, thanks for your welcome. What Germans have to do with barbarians? They write books abou them :lol:Stefan, you know of course I was only joking. But your lucid and good-natured response is much appreciated. With "civilized" (or shall I more accurately say, "ethnocentric") eyes, many other people appear to be "barbarians." Yet, when viewed from within their own culture, the lens is often reversed.
