As Facebook wasn't exactly meant for prolonged, meaningful dialogue among strangers, I wouldn't hold your breath.

So far, we're up to 79 members. But hopefully we'll get more. Gotta popularize Late Roman History!

I just joined here and on Facebook-Late Antiquity. Can research questions be asked on the Facebook page?

I don't have a Facebook. I don't really like speaking to people online who might be half a world away at that particular moment. I find it creepy.

~I do like the idea of Roman history spreading though. I think it is good to put history places on sites like that where many do not know about such things.

Sure, if there's a lot of people in that Facebook group.

I think you said there are 79 people. Sounds like a village, but it's a start. There's bound to be some "elders" among them.

 

I want to know how keeping a journal was viewed in 450 CE, or if this was something even done, but maybe expressed differently. Would a Roman in this time express aspects of daily life in a "Codex" or just on papyrus or parchment?

 

Also, I've noticed that I'm a servi and a Tiro. Are these terms related to slavery? In Saylor's book ROMAN BLOOD, he has a slave who is Cicero's legal assistant named Tiro.

So far, we got 84 people. As for writing, I'm not sure.
