Hello everybody,
I am Caius Cornelius Cethegus, in real life just an IT Consultant with strong interest in history (1500 BC - 500 AD) and not guilty of any re-enacting or whatsoever ... ;-) )
My nick I chose because of Felix Dahn's Kampf um Rom and my finding out later that Cethegus was actually an 3rd/2nd century BC consul.
My favourite Roman is Germanicus Caesar (the best emperor they never had) and sometimes I dream to unravel the geographic mysteries of the Varus battle.
And yes, Valerius/Vortigern is my brother.

Hello All,
I'm the new guy here. I am a former US Army infantry officer with a degree in military history who has studied 20th century military history and to a lesser degree the Napoleonic Age to death. I know VERY little about the Roman era so I will be in learning mode for a long time.
Those that forget History will be condemed to repeat it.

Greetings Dallas, and welcome to RAT! I've been here since early on and I am still awed by the knowledge of the members here. Great place to learn continually.
There are Romans in the DC area, Legio XX in case you didn't know. No need to reenact, just be interested in Rome.

Hi, new person here.
Aussie Uni student with a love of history- not too much specific knowledge, I'm afraid.
:oops: I had to get someone else to give me the motto I now bear in my signature.

You can indeed. Spent the evening at metalsmithing class pushing copper around a stake, getting ready to handle red brass. Going to have a killer grip after all this metal raising.

Hey everyone. My name is Andrew Magee. I hail from Orlando, FL and I am currently an undergraduate attending Emory University in Atlanta. I am a Classics major with an archaeology minor. My goal is to go onto graduate school in archaeology.
I am a member of Legio XI where my Roman and Greek military knowledge has sky-rocketed. I look forward to learning all kinds of stuff from everyone.
(I have already discovered this is a better source for ancient military articles, books, and primary sources. :lol: My professor cannot understand where I am finding all these good military history articles.)
