Hello!!!! Yup, Im a new recruit...... I was wondering whether anyone knew of any battle re-enactment groups in the Dorset area. When I move to go to Warwick uni, are there any groups also in that area??<br>
Quick intro.... I am interested in the Classical world, but my Latin is dire and my greek is non-existent unfortunately I love the Iliad, and get all emotional at the death of Patroklos. I am proud to say I have 11 copies of the Iliad!!<br>
I like to fence as a hobby, Im on Grade 4 and like to use a sabre but am stuck on foils as there are not enough sabres to go aroud in my class I have also have tried archery which is rather fun.....if I hit the target!!<br>
Finally....... I have a confession.... Im female!!! and yes I do know that:<br>
1. Skamandrios was the SON of Hektor<br>
2. Women did not fight in the Roman army. But there are examples of women fighters, Camilla....lots of Amazons.....<br>
Anyway I hope I get a response for groups!!! <p></p><i></i>
