The reporting on Xanten always seems to be military or gladitorial. If anyone attended, what was the civilian side like? <p></p><i></i>

Rich, my Xanten travelogue will be divided in the three parts the event was divided in: Bread(civ), Swords(mil) and Games(glad). I even took pictures of the civilians (huh?! Yeah!). Not too many though (not dozens and dozens as for the military and gladiators) but sufficient for a nice overview I hope. I tried to pay special attention to the 'buildings' they brought along.<br>

Great photos Jasper. The Roman Glassmakers from the UK are the ones in the photos; I have a few that are in that photo.<br>
<br>
Forum Traiani is the German group from whom I've bought a few things for our displays.<br>
<br>
I am still wondering where all the amphora come from. You just can't buy those over here at all, and that's one of my 'to do' projects, producing amphora.<br>
<br>
I'll be rebuilding our caupona and I think I'll try my hand at some of the more elaborate Pompeian figures and snakes. <p></p><i></i>

I know that the Forum Traiani is a German group. Just a lame attempt at a joke, referring to the real Forum Traiani in Rome which is a rather big complex.<br>

--edit: lame attempt at a joke, not meant as a snide comment on this group!-- <p>Greets<br>

Yes, well some of call ourselves a legion and we're usually not much more than a contubernium... <p></p><i></i>
