Like most of you (I guess) I've been interested in history since day one. The Romans are not the only period of interest but one of the biggest (wo II and American Civil War also).
One of my other hobbies is figure painting and for that I do a lot of research. At the moment I've started painting an soldier of an auxiliary unit on hadrians wall.
If you like you can see some of my work on www.hz-forum.de

okay, here's my first question.
I saw on RAT that members can donate money. You can even get a medal for it.
My question is; what happens with the money? Do we support roman orphans? archeological digs? My wedding ?

Hi Patrick,
The money is used for the upkeep of the site. Hosting it, for instance, costs about USD20 a month. The software we use to run the forum and main site is mostly free, but some special components are not. The software used to run the helmet and gravestone database cost us 100 euros. Satsobek designed the site for free, but if we ever want an updated design, I'll have to placate and woe her with gifts. :wink:

Welcome to RAT Patrick. If you're dishing out money I know a good cause - cheques made payable to the "Libitina-Spent-Too-Much-Money-Over-Christmas-Fund".

Anyone live close to an old settlement?
I live approximately 20 minutes from Caleva (Silchester)
Ive been up there at night and its really spooky. We have several old Roman roads close to us which are little more than bridle paths now.

Welcome !! I don' t live in the neighbourhood but I'm just rereading 'the eagle of the ninth' which is partly set in your town. Would be cool to visit it one day, maybe we'll find that eagle back?
