The "Mercato della Centuriazione di Villadose" is a sort of "private" event of the Legio I Italica that is based in fact in Villadose.
We partecipated for 4 years to that, but then we weren't invited anymore.
It is a small event from the military point of view because this town is small, so it cannot contain a field with many reenactors (60-70?), but the most curious thing is that the whole town change its face to a roman type, or, they try to do that somehow. All the citizens use to be dressed as romans and walk in a sort of big roman market with 30-40 manufacturers, tabernae, etc.
It is interesting, but normally few groups are accepted.
Last year were Legio I Italica (of course), Gruppo Storico Romano ( www.gsr-roma.com ) and Ars Dimicandi.
I don't know about any non-italian groups, but probably something from Hungary.
Is there on RAT some Legio I Italica members in order to give more details?
