Nephele 4 Report post Posted September 17, 2006 Thanks for the advice and welcome, guys! Since onomastics is (obviously) an interest of mine, I did do a site search to see if there were any topics started on Roman names and naming. Couldn't find any. Do you remember any? -- Nepilla Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ummidia quadratilla 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2006 I'm new here as well. I'm from Vancouver Island (Canada) and came across this site when researching a short story I was writing set in Vindolanda during the building of Hadrian's Wall. Last autumn I had the pleasure of spending a day and a half near Haltwhistle and went to Housesteads Fort and Vindolanda. I need to go back and see the rest of the wall. That trip also took me to the south of France where I went to the Theatre at Orange and the Pont du Gard. I finished my honours degree in Greek and Roman Studies (focus on Roman Social History) in 2002 as a mature student who decided to follow her passion in her thirties. Anyway I love this site and will start posting, especially now that I realize I can improve my position in society! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Gaivs Marivs Report post Posted October 16, 2006 Ave! I am Gaivs Marivs. I was Consul of Rome 7 times. Lvcivs Cornelivs Svlla was an enemy of mine, and there was a civil war between us. I was assassinated when Svlla's forces took Rome. No, not really. I'm a 22 year old guy from Australia who is interested in Roman history. I hope to learn a lot from other members, as well as hope to share my insights on Roman history with you. I love reading first-hand sources like Julius Caesar's "Commentaries". To me, they present a unique perspective that, although biased, is nonetheless essential in our understanding of Roman history. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

floppybelly 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2006 Hm. I'm not exactly new here, so to speak, but I've had a long hiatus, and I wasn't exactly active before I did. So I guess you could call me new. I usually pop in whenever I have a Latin project, like right now. Hi! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Callaecus 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2006 Hello everyone. I'm from Porto (then known as Portucale) in Northern Portugal (then the southern part of the province of Gallaecia). History is one of my favourite subjects and since my knowledge of the Roman period is so-so, I decided to join this forum in order to learn more about it. Finally, I must say that I find the design of this forum quite attractive and well-made. Congratulations to the designers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
votadini 0 Report post Posted December 20, 2006 Hail to all. I've been living in Korea and Japan for some years now but good in many respects to be back in Europe and the trawling around ancient remains can resume with zeal. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like "Brookfordshiresexingham" helps? :wub: I think Mosquito should put "Posnania, Polonia" in his profile identification. And get a Roman name for himself, too!
