I put this link in the Roman soldier section, but there are also a lot of photos of civilains, so thought it might be useful to put it here too:

The pictures(of Comitatus) were taken at Bolsover, UK, 30 April-2 May, and include various crafts and stalls, as well as photos of kit.

That lady in the 'troublesome trio' picture, what period dress is she wearing?

Just seen your posting. I think she's wearing a dress based on one in a display at Arbeia Museum. Think I saw something like it in a publication, but can't lay my hands on it at present. Needless to say, she is portraying a lady of high status. The rest of us schlep around in tube dresses/peplos types.

Here's a couple of our Matrona at an event last fall.
