Ludus Militis (US)

[Chlodovicus]

I have spoken to my two kids and their cousin, all about 8 to 10 y.o., about doing something, and surprisingly they seem interested - for the moment. From other threads I know re-enactors on this site involve their families, and it would be good to do that here as well.

I involve the grand kids and sometimes their friends and they are happy to participate.
Below is a visit to a local park. Other events I have taken grandkids to include Lafe, Casta Roma, Roman Days and a Legio V visit to Austin Peay University.
I will teach them the drill from the new manual and make a demonstration video when it warms up.

Thanks, John. BTW the Legio V website is great.

Where did you get the "kid-size" caligae and their mail armor? (My son and his cousin think caligae are cool; My daughter is the soleae type )

My interest personally is more the later empire when the old army shoe was unlikely to be found along the Rhine, but US re-enactors seem to be almost all of the high imperial period(s). If their interest will be in that time, that is OK.
