The Romans
"All roads lead to Rome"
Rome's tenacity towards any adversity created a world that lasted over a thousand years. Roman culture evolved through that time, from a small collection of villages on seven hills and the earliest kings, to the Republic, to the Empire, and this great culture is still with us. The Roman culture and military which created and held this all together is a fascinating study of organization, arts, economics, discipline, technology and thinking.
Roman reenacting is very popular in Europe and now in the United States, with new groups appearing regularly. Reenactment now encompasses military (infantry and cavalry), civilians, gladiators as well as Rome's enemies, and ranges from strictly historical to mock warfare. Moreover, it is now possible to assemble an accurate soldier's or civilian's impression from existing suppliers.

What do events look like?
Where can I discuss Roman topics?
|
RomanArmyTalk Board (RAT) -- What can we say? THE place to be... actually there's SO much stuff there, it's hard to read it all. Especially if, like me, you just have a dial-up connection...You can EASILY lose yourself there and spend HOURS reading on the RAT board. A sore butt and burning eyes, so of course, we recommend it ;-)
|
| Roman Civ Talk (RCT) -- Billed as the Web's friendliest place for discussion of ancient Rome, Roman CivTalk certainly is that. Run by the same nice folks who do the Roman Army Talk Board, RCT has quite a few neat topics on Rome, it's people and their lives. |
| Roman Army Forum -- This forum is for those interested in the Roman army from the Republic through to the end of the Empire. It's history, organisation, equipment, campaigns and battles, and the people associated with the army. (Kinda like RAT, but not really used as much) |
e-Mail Lists
|
 |
The RomanArmy Group (RAG) list is an e-mail list dedicated to the Roman reenactor. It has quite a bit of good knowledge and useful posts. It also doesn't fill up your in-box with garbage! Now part of reenactor.Net! ;-)

Legio XX Valeria Victrix
A Note on Links:
"Latin is NOT a dead language! " Jane Hall
But the links sure are! Research results on Rome, Latin, and the Roman Army will quickly reveal an apparent wealth of information on the Internet and in print. Unfortunately, web links are born, shift and die constantly, particularly since many are non-profit or academic, and most books are small print runs, gone quickly.
