Largest units / Biggest events ?

[Gaius Julius Caesar]

The Big Bang, 3.998 Billion bc(approx) Since it seems we're no longer talking Romans here... :mrgreen:

Total number of participants, 0.
Or possibly, for the sake of avoiding a theological debate, [size=150:32untsza]1[/size]

ahh, see, I figured if were were diverging from Roman events, then we could just go right of topic..... :wink:

I'm pretty sure no N. American events have made it to Century size yet john...maybe about halfway there at best. The Castra site shows a group picture of 17, the RD has 21, and Lafe maybe has the most, but only because there is an equal number or maybe less of celts to go with the romans, so you're looking at 40-50. Not even close to a century.

I was at roman days 2007 and remember two 1/2 centuries on the field not counting immues in the camp.

This is the event you are talking about I think: http://www.flickr.com/photos/8028065@N0 ... 311704702/

Would have to ask Matt Amt what the "official" count was. Perhaps close to or a "scant" century on the field and a full century
if all the "camp guards" and senior officers were counted.

LAFE 2010 Preparation is underway but the possible count is unknown lot of registrations are going to be last minute because of the slow economy. The Celts will be happy to find the Celic lognhouse roof finished and the floor will probably be installed
also! A bunch of the Celtic renneactors really do roman but they switch over for Lafe so there are local inhabitants and enemies for the Legion to interact with.

I'm only counting 21 people there John lol. Not including civilians, but you did say "boots"...and it looks like two groups of 10+ people.

Part of the issue of getting us all to one spot is the great distances we have to travel...and really Lafe is the only site which has anything Roman on it which is in working order for a large event. We lack the small confines of Europe and the readily available access to sites.

Seems like we had about 60 or so at the movie trailer filming in Nashville, TN in 2004. I don't remember exactly, though. Maybe someone else remembers.

I was also at the Nashville, TN filming. There were about 70 soldiers in total - legionary troops - that would be a century allowing for one not at full paper strength. 40 of us formed a testudo under Dan Peterson's command. The Roman Days event of 2007 had rather less than a century of troops. The total number of Roman soldiers may have been into the low 30's, but Matt would likely know an exact count. The roped off area for the display was rather small and we broke the numbers up into "two centuries" due to space considerations. It was easier for two smaller blocks of troops to move about than one large mass.
