Complete the Sentence(s): If I won 100 million I would build .......
(It has to be ancient reenactment related (Greek Celtic etc OK) also include WHERE)
Part of my sentence(s): .... underground would be modern living quarters for those unwilling to give up 21st century living entirely ....

I don't want to be an *ssh*le but is this really the place for this kind of topics? I'd suggest this to be placed in the off-topic section.

I have to agree on the off topic.
If I had the $100million, I'd fund the Carlysle Roman museum, and after that Vindoland (since I met Dr Birley this past summer). and then, fund a site in Virginia. After my villa in Sonoma wine country to which I'd invite all my Roman friends.

I would buy a property sufficient to the task, and build a milecastle and an oppidium/hillfort.

Finally build my device and attendant software that would measure and map the inside and outside of helmets. Then compile a book of as many helmets as possible which would give detailed photos and measurements of all the helmets. The device would have the ability to be plugged into a 3-D printer so the book would include a disc or thumb drive that you could send to a 3-D prototyper and have you favorite helmets produced for closer examination. Oh and a villa.

... I wouldn't tell anybody. But I would give half to charity immediately and distribute a fair chunk to family and friends. Nobody needs such vast amounts of money - I'd be happy with just a million, knowing I had helped out at least 99 other people or causes with similar amounts.

Oh, and after the reconquista I would also change traditional Bavarian women´s attire from
http://www.flickr.com/photos/dorena-wm/4...3141214043
to
Swasiland traditional attire, contains nudity.
Seems for fitting, in regard of our local climate becoming warmer every year. And then I would probably legalize marital polygamy for both sexes so that everybody can be married to everybody at all time. Would be a fun social experiment. :-)
