If there was room for a night "show" at the Archeon event, you know: roman dance, roman music, roman food banquets, etc., what about the sudden and dramatic call for Iulianus Augustus by acclamation in that night of February 360, during the soldiers revolt at Parisii (Ammianus Marcellinus XX-4,12-18 )?
a) In the night, during dances, musics and banquet for the public, when suddenly, groups of menacing, angry and excited soldiers storm with flaming torches into the castle/palace central court, where shouting strongly, acclaim "Iuliane Auguste"! "Iuliane uiuas!" ...
b) Firstly Iulianus, in a short and dramatic adlocutio, refuses, asking the soldiers to obey to the Costantius' call for his army, but finally he accepts as augustus: we have the full latin text from Ammianus!
c) Iulianus is so acclaimed and lifted on a round shield of the Petulantes and as Augustus is crowned with the gold torques (lacking there a real diadem) of Maurus, uexillifer of the Petulantes.
A moment full of atmosphere: the public will surely enjoy a lot and will be happy of learnig an episode of the history of Europe (a quick speaker is maybe needed to explain in few words).

Vale,
Quote:3) I really want to receive ideas (PM or mail me) for extra (smaller) show elements.

... Tu modo nascenti puero, quo ferrea primum
desinet ac toto surget Gens Aurea mundo,
casta faue Lucina; tuus iam regnat Apollo ...
