That's a good question Rich, Why...can't we have one...??<br>
<br>
Ahhh here it is under the heading "why not you"<br>
article 3 paragraph 4 titled "finances"<br>
<br>
I says and I quote..." (a) you don't have enough money"<br>
" (b) you don't have rich relatives"<br>
" © you don't have a sponsor"<br>
" (d) all of the above"<br>
<br>
yeah I think I know "why" now....<br>

Hi Noricus,<br>
<br>
Actually, you misquote the rules. It is in section 22, article 3, paragraph 1, titled 'Roman geography', and it says:<br>
"You don't live on the Roman border so the Forestry Commission will not in a million years erect a replica to commemorate that."<br>

Good job.<br>

Hey congrats Vortigern!<br>
<br>
That's a beautiful looking watch-tower there.<br>
<br>
*now all we need is a fine palisade wall to go with that* <p></p><i></i>
Re: Fectio burgus inaugurated - Robert Vermaat - 05-29-2004
It seems two Roman re-enactors from the US will be stopping by the tower tomorrow...<br>
Does anyone have an idea who these two fellas might be?<br>

Because, when I mentioned it to you on the phone one day, you told me no one would want to put up the money or spend the time to do it ;-Þ Say it Rich, say it. <em>"Okay, you were <strong>right</strong> Marsh!"</em><br>

Just an update, the Four Towers of Fectio (the fort, not the group)

Here's a pano from the Marsdijk (which may overlay the Roman Limesroad)looking north to the spot of the Roman fort:

Nice views!
I see that those usual idiots that someone calls "writers", signed the north side of your tower with their stupidity... :x
Vale,
Re: Fectio tower - Alexius - 01-21-2007
Good work.
Who you have got the necessary support for build that?
- voluntary internal work?
- sponsor founds?;
- local city town hall support?;
- group own funds?.
Salve!
Alexius

I think you first need a voice to whisper 'if you build it, he will come'... or have I been reading too much W.P. Kinsella?
