Hi Caius here A few years back I rembered seeing An elderly RomanReeactor from Britian usings Bagpipes in his impression. My Understanding was they were of a more simpler form than the modern ones. Does anyone know who this gentlmen might be?. In the 4th Century increasing number of Romanized Celts entering into Roman military service it could have been possible. Also what about more tradtional instruments like the Courna would they still be in use?. In the military music can be used to give soliders a boost in Moral. Did the Late Roman milites have something similar? Cheers Caius/Thomas
