As with all things, this must have a beginning. This diarivm (Latin for diary) will discuss our work building Legio IX Hispana into a worthwhile reenacting and living history group. My hope is that there will be tidbits of Romaneß inserted here on a regular basis. Things like a reading list/bookstore, so that we (members of Leg. IX HSPA) may share our favourite books on Rome with you, the reader.

Often, I lapse into British spellings for things (I don’t know why, I just do) and i often use German words and characters (ä,ö, ü, ß) too. Deal with both. I am getting to be a crotchety old curmudgeon… However, my goal is to, as we go along, illustrate the proceß (ß=ss, again, deal with it) for all to learn from.

Tired, I am

It is late, I am tired. I have been working on the website theme for www.legioix.org and spent last night looking at code. YUCK! Coders don’t get the fact that most of us don’t LIKE coding, it’s an evyil to get somewhere. Coders have websites that work well, but are either butt-ugly or have no content. My crap works somewhat, but I am anal-retentive about type and layout — blame that on Marcvs Equitivs Lentvlvs.
