We are a small group mainly consisting of Roman turncoats but who knows what the future holds? We are supported and attached to Legio VI FFC (THANKS GUYS!!! especially the little one), and was encouraged to create this group by the event in Lafe, AD 43 (THANKS!!!)

You Southern guys are really stepping things up aren't you?? Auxiliaries, Gladiators, now Germanics!

For a source of early Germanic swords this book by Nico Roymans has some great examples of Batavian weapons from the Kessel/Lith area.

Great information on early Germanic coinage too.

Best of luck with the new group, and thank you from all of us for not reenacting sans clothing!
