Quote:I think this is a big part perhaps of why many people feel dissapointed when they see romans in films, and then see re-enacttors. As 'WoadWarrior' said, we do not look 'epic' (that always makes me laugh...) Perhaps we are too 'new' and 'pristine', much like a ceremonial army perhaps. I think the clean, shiny reenactor armor looks more glorious and better fits the archetype of Rome. Just my opinion.
