Another fantastic weekend at the largest Roman event in the UK. As one of the organisers it was great to see all of the units working together to produce such a sight, and to have over a Century on parade was something else (126 soldiers on parade on the Sunday alone, never mind all of the Britains / Dancers / Cavalry / Traders / hangers on etc!).
Why then, with 90% of the UK and European re-enactors on side, do we have nitpickers and arrogant idiots trying to spoil it for everyone. Accept that this is happening and work to create the best spectacle of Roman life there is in the UK.
I have to assume that this arrogant "we are better than everyone else" attitude is to make up for deficiencies elsewhere, and the refusal to join in with the rest is an inferiority complex caused by an inability to accept working with your betters. As for the stupid nitpicking, maybe that has come about from too much time alone reading books on just one subject. maybe you should get out more and see that there is more to it.
Come on people, the small group of you who are spoiling it for the rest, get onto the program and lets make this the best event in Europe!
And before anyone comments, the organisers do this for free, not commercial gain, and for the good of Roman Re-enactment. Shame others don't
