I don't know that I will ever re-enact per se, but with the completion of a Roman Kit and with my ancestors being Roman, I would like to pick a name for the hell of it and to use at least when I wear it to fair. My uncle is an avid family historian and has traced our ancestory as far back as ancient Rome. I am Italian/Irish heritage with my father being 100% Italian American. My family has had Anthony in the first born male for generations so I intend to use the name Antonius as my middle name as it is in reality. My grandmother was a Cassius and was a descendant of the Cassius of Ceasar's time and I was born on the Ides of March so I would like Cassius as my first name. I believe our family name went through so many changes, but seems to be from Brutus so that sounds good to me for a last name and keeps my intials CAB which my modern name is Christopher Anthony Boatcallie (Buttacavoli in Italian). So.......Would Cassius Antonius Brutus be an acceptable Roman Name? I trust you guys after years lurking and finally posting on the forum so want to bounce it off you guys first. Thanks.
