Hi Guys - Scipio Bristolus - 04-03-2007
Just joined up. Not a Roman reenactor, but done other periods for a long time.
Had a long-standing interest in Rome and the Roman Army, especially the late Republic and Punic Wars. My interest got reanimated by *that* game.....

Re: New recruits - bigbuse - 04-06-2007
Hello all!
I am not a reenact-or of Ancient Rome, but I have been interested in doing something with a unit of that type near my area. My interest is more along the lines of Republic and early Imperial Rome. However, A friend and myself are trying to put together a Greek Hop-lite impression. If anyone on here knows of any units near or around the Northern, IL/ Chicago, IL area please let me know. It would help us out greatly, and we could join veterans, who could show us the ropes. That, of course, would be preferable to starting from scratch. I would appreciate any tips or helpful insight into some of the more subtle workings of an ancient Greek Hop-lite unit.
I'm looking forward to meeting new people who share my common interests.
Thank you
Re: New recruits - caiusscipio - 04-06-2007
New guy here,
Ive been mostly interested in the period of time, right when the Romans left the northern areas near mediobogdum, Hadrian's wall, glavennetta (sp) etc. actually in all honesty im a scatterbrain and would have a persona that would cover it all if i could :-) ) anyways i just wanted to say hi and introduce myself.

welcome to RAT!
Re: New recruits - Roy - 04-07-2007
Greetins, new here
I've been interested in the Roman & Greek military for quite some time now, too bad I didn't find this forum earlier.
It seems that unlike any other Roman history forum, there're a lot of experts here
Re: New recruits - Chris21 - 04-07-2007
Hello everyone.
My name is Chris Paskert from Riverview, Florida, USA
A former Army Officer who is now working as an assistant director for a local passion play.
From the looks of things this looks like a great forum for learning.
This year I built my first SCUTUM. Of course it is a play prop with out a budget, so the point is that it looks authentic. This next year we are going to be working on lorica segmentata, caligae, and baltevs. We do have two auxillary calvary guys who help out every year with crowd control. Everybody is loving the direction of a more authentic looking Roman detachment.
My interest in Rome is growing because I am now seeing the connections behing the idealism of Rome and some of the concepts behind the Constitution of the US. The interesting if not horrific part of the connection is the conversion of the republic into an empire. I consider myself "kin" to an early republican centurio with no real interest in senate life. just going back home with my farm which I joined to protect anyway.
I also play the part of Pontius Pilate in the play which I mentioned above and have been researching hard into roman clothing loking for historical referencees to busts, paintings, pottery etc. This years pilate costume was based loosely on a combination of the painting "Ecce homo" and a bust of Tiberius Caesar Augustus.
Sorry for being long winded but I'm excited and looking forward to getting to know everybody.
Chris Paskert

Hi Chris and welcome to RAT! I'm sure you'll find plenty of resources here...
One thing, though -- could you resize your avatar, to no more than 115 pixels wide? Thanks!
Re: New recruits - Robbie Phillips - 04-12-2007
Hello all,
I just signed up. I have a number of years in re-enacting the Second Seminole War (1835-1842). I enjoy living history programs that interact with the public. I have interest in producing a kit for an Auxillary in the first century AD. I have been reading the posts here for over five months now and have learned alot. I'm putting a few good questions together to post soon. I look forward to chatting with everyone on both sides of the Ocean!
