Byzantine re-enactment

[hoplite14gr]

Martin, the 10th-11th century Varangian guards would be more Viking like.
So to reanct them you need the classic Scandinavian gear with cloacks and chitons of south eastern Europe. Asumig you reeanct an officer silk or cootn is quite appropriate instead of wool.
The late 12th 13th century troops would folow more the fashion s of their day . The Scandivanian elemet is stressed in the Guard because it closer to the intented public of the book in the market. Russain book tent to stress the slavonic element and the German foot guards of the late 13th century are more or less unknown.

The current look of ARMA (hellas) as I said would make a good LATINIKON impression.

Kind regards
