Massive gathering in Germania in 2009

[Tarbicus]

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for talking about the potentials for an official event in 2009. As you can see there was a fair amount of discussion here about the same. I have some question.

Since the thread started here it's clear that many would like to not just commemorate the Varus disaster, but we would also want to commemorate other Roman historical events at the same time. This could be a rare opportunity for many Roman re-enactors, and others, to get together to do so.

The event you talk about so far seems very focused on just the one battle. What would be the chances of our being accomodated to pursue the other battles that have been talked about before in the thread?

Also, how would the finances work, in terms of potential sponsorship for Roman re-enactors to come from all over the world to participate?

And lastly, you mention 'quality' of re-enactors. Could you be a bit more specific about what that standard would need to be? How would that be judged and vetted? Or would enthusiasm alone be enough, with a little help and advice from others here?
