  1. Technique The word you will find in the ancient texts is "stigma" and the meaning isn't very clear. According to C. P. Jones, it means mainly "tattoo". Branding was for animals. Except in some crual practices, as discribed by Juvenal about bad masters branding their slave to hurt them, the bodymarks of the Greco-Roman antiquity were tottoos. Who was marked? 1. Some slaves were marked on the forehead with the abstract of a sentence meaning they were running away. This sentence still exist on tabellae, the slave wore sometime on a necklace. 2. Vegetius tell that the recruits should be tattooed with the pin-pricks of the official mark after they has been tested in exercices. 3. It seems that some initiated poeple of the Cybele cult were tattooed too. For Greeks and Roman, bodymarks were meaning mainly barbary, slavery and animality, so don't hope to find a tattooed senator
  2. unrv.mmow In fact, there were technical troubles. The site (data bank and files) was created as rv.mmow then an alias was made for renaming the site as unrv.mmow. This little thing made the site very difficult to manage. The content management system had many bugs. Now it's fixed but now unrv.mmow is a little sleeping. Syk makes what he cans but he needs "writers" to add contents about the game. links pages I was reading RV forum when I find the last post of Bigsteve about medical skills. He posted many links. I thought "nice" but just after I thought too : "another interesting post which will be lost in the deeps of the forum...". A links page, or more, collecting interesting links sorted by topics would be great. I know it's lots of work but I think his place would be more on unrv.com than on unrv.mmow.
