They are in an event at Jerash in Jordan, look as arabs and seem quite well trained and equipped...

Valete,

Yes, if I recall well, they are real Jordan Army soldiers! hock:

That's quite impressive, but if they are real soldiers then one can understand why they're so good at getting all their fellows together. But real soldiers? :? Is this a hobby or actually what they do? Like some sort of "historical" drill unit (like the U.S. Army's Old Guard)?

Greetings,
they do chariot racing too.....
RACE
as Aitor mentioned, they are Jordanian army members and portray VI Legion Ferrata – the Ironclad from Judea and Arabia.

Its a full Jordanian state sponsored tourist attraction. I believe the centurio is westerner with some reenacting background. The rest of the troop do this for a living. No wonder they act like a unit.

[SOCL]

So this and the Keltic village in New Brunswick are among the two places a re-enactor can go and be a true paid professional? Would be blast to be able to that for a career, eh?

I notice that some of the video transitions are six pointed stars.....

[Gallus Marinus Micarius]

They do look good, nice to see that many marching so well, too bad in the fighting pics they are all fighting like single combat warriors and not soldiers with unit cohesion...keep those shields together MILITES, tighten the gaps and fight like a unit!

Testudo is very nice too.
