New recruits

[Helvetus]

Ave,

My name is Olivier, I am a 34 years old graphic designer living in Geneva, Switzerland.

I found this place a week ago, after a casual discussion with a LARP fellow (we do mostly fantasy-medieval and XIXe) about how amazing it would be to try and play a band of legionaries lost in the moutains, with a walk in full gear, a camping night, a vicious barbarian attack, a nice meal around the fire after that…

Long story short, I have now already spent a indecent amount of the previous days reading threads here, bookmarking sites, educating myself on the differences between helmets types, archeological sewing, ordering books about Roman Military Clothing (yeah, I know, I am a bookaholic…). I think I am hooked, it has deeply revived my early love story with Ancient times (I studied Latin and Greek in middle and high school, although not much has actually remained in memory…) and I am strongly interested in learning more and trying re-enactment.

I am not set on a period, segmentata and fur pelts have a strong appeal, but the delicate embroidered tunics and the shield patterns of the late period talk more to my designer side… :grin:

Thank you all for the marvelous wealth of information and advices, I feel I will like this place.

Welcome then Oliver!

Might I say that I also love books as well! Although I mostly look at the pictures :lol:

Hello all my name is Aaron Meyer I am 18 years old and I live in the Austin area. I have been interested in Roman history since I could read. I recently purchased a Pompeii style Gladius at a renaissance faire. One of my friends laughed and asked me what on earth I was going to use it for. Long story short I wound up here. Since I found this site I pretty much spend all day reading for threads and looking at Roman gear. Too bad for my grades.

Good afternoon, everyone.

I am Hermann, from Canada. My habits consist of leatherwork for customers, powerlifting, reenactment, farming, study, and hunting. I am currently into Kievan Rus and Zaporozhian (Ukrainian) cossack reenactment. I came to this forum with hopes of learning more about the Roman world (a life-long interest) and to find information for my slowly-forming Classical Greek hoplite impression.

Cheers,

HK

Glad to see expanding interest in the Roman World. Welcome to the forums!

We need a thumbsup smiley,

[Hermann]

Thank you!

Hello, i am Tomas from Portugal and Sweden, but currently living in Sweden.

I am rather new to reenactment, having been a larper for a while i felt like i should focus more on my love for history as i am rather tired of seeing the same unhistorical fusion of medieval, viking and fantasy clothing.

My hobbies include wargaming, sewing, painting, reading, fishing among other things.
I am currently working on a long term project of making clothes for reenacting Lusitanians, Ceallici and other neighboring tribes.

[Robert Vermaat]

Welcome Tomas, you sure have quite a number of hobbies!

[Gesiþ]

Hi all, I'm mostly interested in Anglo-Saxons and other Migration Period Germanics, but also have a significant interest in the Roman Army of that period (probably as a consequence), although the Medieval East Romans and Rus are also very interesting.
I will soon be entering college and studying the time period mentioned above in addition to psychology and psychohistory, and also hope to get into some serious live-steel reenacting (Must...resist...600$...Byrnie! ). Also, I play many historically oriented computer games and modifications. Glad to find this forum!

[Alanus]

Hello, Gesith

Welcome to RAT! :-)

I'm a Migration Period kinda person, too. Basically, I'm interested in Sarmatian/Alanic history, and also in the Goths. Good luck on your studies and reenacting.
