No, not at all, but from what I've read, quite a LOT of this art was done a couple of hundred years later, yes? I know you also do RevWar, so you tell me, how much artwork and stuff about RevWar is wrong today and that's what, only 228 years ago?? I am not calling these original sources liars, I am saying that alll of this is a perhaps, you are saying it is an absolutely NOT...<br>
<br>
Hell, in relaity, has anybody ever even found a complete set of Lorica?? I think the finds from Kalkriese are fascinating... I really DO wish they'd find some Roman soldier that fell into a bog somewhere...<br>
<br>
Anyway, isn't reenacting more experimental archeology? I have always considered it thus and if you do, you try new and different things to see if it works. Academia is way too hidebound... If I only wanted to know what "scholars" thought, I'd just read the books and not reenact. <p>DECIMUS MERCATIUS VARIANUS<br>
