Patrick,
Pfew! Robert and I were wondering if you guys had received our emails concerning the event...I just heard from Robert that you had some trouble with the email?
I'll just send the old messages another time to your and the general Minervii address. I will send some additional info that just came in this morning a bit later.
Robert and I will arrive saturday sometime between 9.00 and 9.30 ourselves. Garrelt & his will be there on sunday. Assuming Maarten Dolmans is there as well, it's going to be a very late Romanish affair... :wink:

Sweet!
Robert and I will be there saturday morning, though, not friday evening.
So, till saturday!
Have fun in the meantime! 
Weather forecast is lookin' good. Sunny, not too warm, a bit chilly in the morning. Good re-enactment weather!

I made disappointingly few pictures this time, I assume more will follow from Robert, the Minervii and perhaps Gemina and the Teuxandrii.

Morning idyll at the Empire's border in Germania II: the encampment of the Minervii and the Teuxandrii (the tents behind).
The, ahem, somewhat anachronistic empty crates in the middle are what's left of the soldiers' frenzied, undisciplined and sickeningly wholesome consumption of milk and buttermilk... :oops:

A barbarous breakfast: the sizzling sausages of the Teuxandrian toughs...

Tiberius Gabinius dancing (don't be fooled by the smiling boyish countenance. Behind it beats the heart of a ruthless, sadistic genocidal imperialist. In other words, a good Roman soldier... :wink: ), Valerius looking a bit troubled (I warned him against eating that sausage, but did he listen? No, of course not...Cursed are the stiff necks of Chamavian Franks!  D .

I wrote a little piece on Fectio here. If you scroll down a bit, you will find a photo of the interior of a tower that is almost identical to the Fectio replica. Cf. the tower at Rainau, go here and again scroll down a bit.

http://erste-legion.de/bilder/2006/bild ... ederlande/
I ll send my pictures as soon as possible to you and the Gemina (and of course to the minervii).
Thank you for the compliments, you choose the "best" picture you could get, didnt you?
If i had a fish in the hands it would look a bit like Monthy ...
It was a very great weekend, i'm glad i was able to participate.
Now where i now that first centuries are allowed and welcome i will try to get more Flavii to there next year as well 
Good communications with the other groups, the orga and the own guys, sun, strange food .... really relaxed!
Thanks to Fort Fechten, the Gemina and Fectio for this

Hi guys,
Yes, that was a very fine weekend, lovely weather and very good company!
Worried? Me? Over a sausage? Sure - look at the effect it had on poor Tiberius Gabinius!! He's doing the fish-slapping dance without fish!
I did not eat one, remember - I was on guard duty from 9.30 to 11! :evil:
Quote:I assume more will follow from Robert
Sure, after I have finished polishing all the rust from our equipment!

Now, now, you were the duly appointed "Group Commander" for all the Romans - with great power comes great responsibility! :lol:

Ah yes, but think, Valerius! Just a couple of years and Bran is old enough to do all the polishing for you...as well as haul wood, cook breakfast, dinner, feed and groom the horses... :roll:

One can but hope...
Btw, we've Romanised our little man - he's called Hieronymus now.
