Sorry for being late, but two weeks ago I received my "Roman Warfare" by Goldsworthy. My first "modern" book of the roman army.

Thanks Ioannis!!!

You're most welcome Iagoba!

Earlier this week, I received a DVD set of "Rome".

MANY THANKS SUSANNE!

PS: I love your signature

Well, what Paul said in that quote was one of THE funniest things I've ever read on this forum... needless to say that I miss him tons.

Me too my dear friend, I miss him alot, there will be no one like him.

He gived me the first experience by let me try one of his bronze corinthian helmets, for few days, while I have it at my home.

I treated that helmet like a baby, I polished it for him & put some leather padding inside the mask to prevent shafting & cutting your face...

I know he maked you look good in your avatar, as well me with the helme 8)

Sulla Felix, thanks for the tablet and stylus.....I have been thinking of getting one fora while!

Just the thing to go with the other odds and ends!

I recieved a box of goodies this morning from a very damp postman! Many thanks Iagoba! not seen a vessel like that over here- is it a personal oil flask? it is lovely, My son has claimed the note book as the chariot on it is like his playmobil set he recieved for Christmas



Many thanks once again

If everyone wants, we can make this a regular thing. I can keep doing it, or I can share! Do we want to start it earlier in 2008 so more folks get a chance to sign up? Any suggestions or comments that can make it better are welcome!!

Wes

[sulla felix]

Faventianvs got me my own Roman fort - wow!

Wes I think this was great and you can count me in for Christmas 2008.

[Robert]

Like I said before, very pleased and YES, do count me in for the next years event. Would be great if you could host it again, Wes, job well done, many thanks and a laude for your effort!
I will be most glad to make someone something and by that time, I may have gotten Roman smithing down to an art (but don't count on it!) :lol: Perhaps we could give it a more prominent spot on the RAT site, it was only by chance I stubbled upon it. An early start (say october) would be great to get more followers. Due to postal and tax, the division in Europe and States seems to have worked out fine, I will opt for Europe again next year.

[Musivarius]

Just wanted to post my gift from Jurjenivs, (well I'll try anyway!)
It's a copy of a Roman spirit level from the mosaic found at Pompeii. Just perfect for me, I've been wanting to get one for the demos for ages now, and then one arrives.
Cheers
Lawrence
Ok I've just ried it and it's too big, i guess I'll just have to read the instructions
