[Rado]

Typical Roman auxiliary troops in the composition of auxiliary cohorts from the German limes, before being mobilized for offensive against Britain by Imp. Claudius 1970 years ago.

Goodness, Rado! That's a lot of information! Are you looking to add to it for a particular project? I have recently visited both friends Sdapeze and Genialis within the last year so if you would like more detailed and close up photographs of them, please just let me know.

It would be great if this “Anniversaries- 1970 years from the Claudius Invasion of BRITAIN” will be noted in UK and in France, Belgium and Netherlands which was used for maneuvering platzdarm of the Roman army before the invasion.
There is potential in whole this idea.
Clubs are prepared and available with all their equipment and skills. Everything else is a matter of willingness by cultural institutions.

I am sure that Jasper is planning a "bimillenary" commemorative issue of Ancient Warfare magazine for 2043!

Yes, maybe 2013-2014 is better to memorate the Bimillenary aaniversarie of the succession from Augustus to Tiberius, for instance. And well, there're some bigger activities comming up. They just need time to get organised. For a big anniversarie this year, organisers seem to be little late already as they still would need start planning.

Hi Rado, in case you haven't seen this before, there are some scientists who believe some of the Thracians are still amongst us;

If there is a financing support for the gathering of the most of the Roman clubs in Europe which are equipped for the period -First half of the 1st century A.D. on any of the English Channel shores then it we will carried out an amazing event dedicated to this anniversary!

[Rado]

Our creative project ADLOCVT COH. We fulfilled this ritual one hour before start of the parade. Then repeated again after the parade.This event recreated the speech of Emperor Claudius. In occasion of Roman Invasion of Britain. With this ritual we celebrated the anniversary 1970 years from the event. Emperor climb on the improvised stage and read a short speech in Latin In front of Legionnaires gathered in block.



The situation was very suitable for this occasion.
Of course to us it is clear that our IIII SCYTHICA legion was not involved in the invasion! But it is out of respect for the anniversary date. For now we are the only group that has honored this anniversary.
