I hope RAT stays an open forum

I must ask SS, though: is there any specific reason for your post? If it is because you know of one or two individuals that have knowledge but who aren't willing to share, then that is their loss: without debate, how can we expand our understanding of the ancient world?

Hi,

I’ve been told of a piece available and am doing research on it to see if I might want to pick it up.

I had a good discussion going in Roman Military History & Archaeology. Some of the members wanted to know where the piece came from, but as I’ve said above, for obvious reasons I can’t always say where it comes from, even privately.

Since I wouldn’t tell them were it came from, they got offended and pulled out of the discussion.
