Hey Crispus/Graham,

is this Chester thing an RMRS event? I don't see it on the list on the website?

Hi Byron, the Chester event is listed on the RMRS website, it's on the 16/17th of June if that helps.

The RMRS event on the 16/17th June is at Colchester according to their site. I had heard that the RMRS would be at Chester at the end of June but they do not appear to be aware of that! As it turns out I will be at Vindolanda that week-end so will miss out on the local event anyway.
Graham.

To clarify,

The 'Chester Thing' is being held over the weekend of 30th June and 1st July (although some activities will commence on the afternoon of Friday 29th).

For RMRS peeps you have been engaged/invited although it doesn't show on your site yet. I forwarded full joining details to Ary earlier this week and expect she will forawrd them to you shortly. Out of interest RMRS will be on the Deans Field (Northeast corner of the original fortress).

Look forward to seeing you all there.

For anyone else, please come and see what's going on and get involved.

:oops: Sorry!

See you there then.

Graham,
I will be sorry to miss you as it now seems we are going after all. Thanks for the PM by the way.

Caballo here is a pic of the FALX :twisted: :twisted: sorry for delay

See you at Chester if you are going

Tony, this looks great, a real "bowel-cabin opener" hock: ! In fact I can imagine how the Domitians and Trajans legionaries must have felt when confronted with weapons like these (btw, do you sleep at all, I mean how can you find all the time to produce all these wonderful items :wink: ...)

Wow :!: Impressive.

BTW, is the Falx meant to be a double-handed weapon ? I don't suppose it could be used effectively while holding a shield.

~Theo

There is a similar a weapon that was one handed, but as far as I know the falx was a 2 handed weapon.

Theodosivs yes I have used my Falx single handed with a clipivs but far more impresive double handed :twisted:
