I just entered for the Enemies of Rome book.

Just for the record... there's no need to enter for individual prizes. Just a simple entry into the overall drawing is required. (unless of course you are actually saying you would refuse everything but one potential prize.)

No, I am content with anything. It's all good.

I love this place.

O_o I see there is a book by none other than our Andrew Dalby in there!

Just over a day left to enter. Don't be shy people.

I would just like to say thank you for giving everybody the chance to win.

I rather enjoy doing it really, and am glad we are able to.

By the by... Today is the last day for entries.

Submission for the drawing is closed. Thanks to all for your entries. We will announce the winners on Saturday.

As promised by Saturday (in my time zone anyway) here are the winners of our December, 2006 giveaway.

The competition was close, but in the end, using a random number generator makes it fairly indiscriminate.

The following list is in order. Each member of the list will get to choose the item they prefer prior to the next selection. Yes, I'm afraid it might take a bit to get this all resolved and it would be shocking if anyone gets their prizes prior to Christmas, but this will ensure that each winner gets the most appropriate prize.

(If somebody gets lined up with an item they already have, we will work out an alternative... no worries.)

Without further ado....

1. Maladict (choice of any)

2. docoflove

3. Rameses the great

4. Gaius Paulinus Maximus

5. Aegyptus

6. Honorius

7. Spittle

8. Kosmo

Here's what will happen. I have PM'd Maladict asking him what he prefers. I will post his prize and winner #2 (docoflove) will get to pick. In the meantime, if any of you are too impatient, you can PM me a list of all the prizes you prefer in order.

Wheeeeeeeeeeee! Thank you, the Powers That Be!

PM sent, and a big public thank you to all who made this possible! :thumbs_up:
