Ancient "Rome" Burns -- Who Is Fiddling This Time.

[john m roberts]

Here in the States it's easy to find several hundred CW reenactors wherever you happen to be filming. Transportation and maintenance costs are minimal. Roman reenactors are much thinner on the ground. To get large enough numbers you'd have to fly them in from all over. Then there's the matter of period. With the Civil war everybody has gear from the same 4-year timeframe. The great majority of Roman reenactors have gear for the 1st-2nd centuries. Not much help if your movie is about Julius Caesar, or Maxentius. Now, calling in reenactors for advice, that's another matter.
