If we were to do something like this at the Kalkreise site, which would probably briung in financial support, etc for the museum, and might be a real good media event, on thing that could be very helpful to the re-enactors would be.....
Have shields provided by the site, maybe not as sturdy as the originals, but all the same pattern, and same designs and colors. This would 1. make reenactors not have to ship their shields, by train, bus or airplane, and 2 give a cohesion to the units, so that they all look like part of one army and one legion.
Get BBC and various film organization involved, they'll be able to get authentic archival footage, with hamata instead of segmentata for their early Roman docu-dramas.... Imagine that!
