Why do 1st Century Roman groups avoid combat
#8
Don't get me wrong, i'm not a believer in the wanton destruction of peoples kit, but that argument doesn't wash, do reenactors of other periods not take as much pride in their kit and spend equally large amounts of money as we do? Besides Late Romans do a fair bit of combat and the construction methods of scabbards are largely the same. Legionaries and Auxillaries can appear on opposing sides, numerous examples exist AD 69 will provide as many examples as you need. Besides the Romans fought many bloodless training battles using wood and wicker kit.
