ROMEC XVIII saw the announcement of the intention to form the Association for Roman Military Equipment Studies (ARMES), and that, finally, is what has happened. Following a successful Indiegogo campaign to relaunch JRMES, Arma is now the biannual newsletter and JRMES the annual publication of ARMES. A temporary committee has been formed to see us through to the next ROMEC when permanent officers can be elected. Full details of the constitution, committee, contact details, interime officers, and subscription rates will eventually be available at the new association website www.a-r-m-e-s.org. In the meantime, we are working towards first the publication of the long-delayed JRMES 14/15 (to appear spring 2015), then JRMES 16 (summer 2015), before restarting JRMES (possibly with a New Series numbering, as N.S.1, but that remains to be decided) in early 2016. That new volume will contain the topical papers from ROMEC XVIII, held in Copenhagen. As in previous years, it is anticip ated that the next JRMES after that will then contain general papers. 1
