What a fantastic event, in a stunning location.
Huge thanks to Cascarino, Benedetto and the Legio Decima, Michaele, the First Legion, Ibercalafell and the other units who attended. Thanks also to Lorenzo Borgia, the vice mayor of Tuoro sul Trasimeno, who I believe helped to organise it.

Looks like a great event indeed. How many re-enactors took part in it?

I'd say about 60-70 in total. They had far more last year, apparently, and are hoping to repeat that larger figure next year.

This is awesome, typically you don't see many Republic impressions like these.
My earlier Republic history is foggy, so forgive me if i'm wrong, but is it correct to see so many legionaries armed with gladii in the battle?

Hi Matt - yes, it was awesome to see such a Republican event, especially for me, as all my books so far have been set in those times.
AFAIK, it is correct to have hastati, principes and triarii with gladii, yes. The velites or skirmishers probably weren't armed with swords, unless they were lucky, but the rest of the legionaries were.

Hi Ben
Thanks for posting these.
Are the illustrations and the model from a local museum or interpretation centre?

It was a sweet first meeting between Italian and Spanish reenactors and Ben Kane!
I would like to meet you, Ben, but this time wasn't possible.
Next one will be the great meeting... as i said in other post, something great is about to become in that sense...

Now I can view them! 8-)
Weather looks perfect! Great to see the local landowners allow them to dig the camp earthworks!
Looked like a fun event!
