HeJ Everyone!
I have been a re-enactor, and now i have turned my attentions to learning to use a sword properly and the joys of Living History and Experimental Archeology, particularly with regard to Auxiliary soldiers.
Some of you in 2nd Augusta might remember me. I did a couple of shows as your Cornicen ( in 2000, i think), then before i could make a career of it, my ( then ) wife upped and left me! The mores of divorce and separation took me away from my hobbies and interests for a while, and i ended up living in Sweden, where, thankfully, i found people who share my passion for all things Roman. Now we are going found a group based around a hypothetical Germanic Auxiliary unit and see what we can find out about Roman Army life from a practical point of view, as well as getting to look cool! It will include drill, marches, and fighting training, with ( hopefully) authentic weapons, equipment, and methods. We'll see what happens. It should be fun, in any case.
Well, anyway, looking forward to sharing opinions with you.
