Swastikas, Roman Gear, modern reenactment (cont from market)
#7
It's the general public, not understanding what the swastika is or who used it throughout history, who will react.

Folks, we've been over this several times. When even some individuals from the general public complain to organisers about 'Nazi-Romans' who carry such symbopls (on clothing, shields, whatever), these individuals may be dead wrong, but still the organisers will have to react to these complaints.

Meaning that clothing must stay at home, shields are re-painted (it happened!) or the items must forever stay at home.

Folks, I know swastikas don't mean we're nazis, but it's not the time yet to use them as decoration. That's too bad, but there it is. I fear that Deepeeka would be put in a very bad light should they make such items.
