M.VIB.M.
But she is not a legionary, she is a auxilia, and as far as I know, there were females in the auxilia. Anyway, it is a poor attitude to have. Just to shutdown the only Danish group involvement in Marle , instead of just saying to us, "Guys, next year, don't have any girls in arms". We are a new group (only 5 years) and getting a Roman reenactment group like ours, up and running, out of a population of only 5 million total, is no small thing. I would think that the rest of the reenactment groups would want to help us and support us, instead of baning / not inviting us, because of, what they see as one mistake. Im sorry, but most of us took days of from work and drove 1200 km in one day to be in Marle, and this is the thanks we get ? We are not idiots with rubber helmets, We are serious reenactors. I am not a leader of our group, just a low legionary, so what i say here is not the opinion of LEG VI COH II cimbria, but my own opinion.
