A co-worker of mine helped his son make a Gladius for a school project. The son won the state competition.

 We should have somewhere in

 We should have somewhere in the forums better than Off Topic to put stuff like this. This seems pretty topical to me. Maybe an A&S sub-forum of some kind should be made?

I don't have any bright ideas. Of course I haven't slept more than two or three hours a night since Saturday (yay insomnia). In any case if you think of something you can add a forum pretty easy from the admin/content menu.

High praise from the Romans.

I posted this link in the Nova Roma mail forum, and the praise was profuse and genuine. There were numerous cries of, "Are they cives? If not, they should be!"

Hmmm.... do they have an on line archive? I'd love to send my co-worker the link.

Nova Roma main list - yahoo group

Sadly, they're using Yahoo groups for most of their communication, which drives me batty but there you have it.

I feel obligated to warn you that a fair amount of drama erupts on the main list at regular intervals, usually in the form of Christians vs. Pagans, but if you can ignore that,  there are some very interesting resources and discussions.
