AVE!,
I Have been in New Zealand now for 8 years. Love it here this truely is an awesome country.
My family line hails from Rome but the geneology is a tad sketchy and somehow somewhere there are family records that go WWAAaayy back there who knows?
I guess it's true what they say we get too soon olt und too late schmart. All of my life even as a litol tike I was always fastenated by those dudes with red rooster dealies on their hats and those nifty horse drawn Segway scooters. Unfortunately it is only now(since I was introduced to this lovely web site) that I am spurred on to discover more about my ancestry and associated history.
I have also been a craftsman most of my days and make edged weapons and related items. Once caught up in the Japanese and European mystique my focus now falls keenly on all things Roman. Have made full suit Japanese armour and others but trying a Lorica will be refreshing I think. Taking a while trying to get the time to make dishing stumps as well.
When the shop is finally set up I will be posting some pics of my work.Tools are very modest right now so it's been a challenge.
I am honored and very happy to have found this place and hope I can possibly contribute somehow. I am here at your service. Many thanks and the very best to you all.
