Robert - was someone shooting at you? Is that an arrow in the ground next to you in the first picture?

I would have requested snowballs instead of "live ammunition." Big Grin

Well spotted! Big Grin It's actually a plumbata (I have another one tucked in the belt). I had been posing with that one but stuck it in the ground for more shots. We were a bit in a hurry because my son was getting very cold..

Due to global warming (Or in spite of) our comrades in Sardinia at Castrum Romano La Crucca had a recent opportunity to reenact in the snow a little.

Here's some of me looking suitably heroic back in '09.

Here's the temperature at base camp, a balmy -16c! Sadly it got cold a bit colder on top of the mountain.

Minutes later my legs fell of below the knee. Darwinism in action!

I thought a modicum of scruffy facial hair was near compulsory for British arctic chic.

Since Paul mentioned the Bronze Age, here's a Copper Age reenactor in the snow:

Nice looking kit Tim, you look like you belong in the wilderness. It looks very functional. I like the 'hand wrappings' too!

He was shot in the back with an arrow...
has tattoos that trace all the accupuncture marks, IIRC for arthritus.

Some rather nice eye candy for the lady here Wink

The snow makes a nice change from the sunny day reenactments I usually see.

Though I see far too many skeletons to find that iceman appealing hahah

A lost soldier returns to the Castrum only to find it abandoned. In the end he finds that one loyal friend remains.
