Medieval Army Talk?

[JRSCline]

I'd say there's an excellent case for a RAT subforum on early medieval Byzantine armies -- an arbitrary date dividing 'ancient' and 'medieval' eras is based more on academic convenience than history, and we've come to view the Dark Ages as more transitional than degenerate.

But I concur with Jasper that a new MAT forum will be unlikely to match the brilliancy of the Golden Age of RAT, and I second Robert's contention that RAT.com is best kept Roman.

I also agree with Nathan's point that Facebook is a very poor host for knowledge-based groups like ours, so a new MAT might experience the same travails on Facebook as its RAT equivalent.
