Late Roman Event (LRE III), August, 2008

[FAVENTIANVS]

The Septimani (heroes from Hispania) – with 7 soldiers and a civilian

Wow! thanx for the compliment Robert... that's very generous according to our last 2 battles:

2005: "With the event over, we began sacking the area. Or was this just a re-enactment of a Late Roman army doing what it normally did? Re-creation of a story that never happened, but just might have in those confused, Late Roman times..Roman troops from Lower Germany and Spain start pillaging the local's huts, forcing them out on the pretext of looking for hidden weapons The Spanish troops then go back to patrolling the river. Soon troops from a British usurper turn up, cross the river and defeat the Spanish troops in a short, sharp battle.
The Spanish troops are routed. "

2007: "The javelin and plumbatae training ended with an usurpation!
Apparently dissatisfied with their pay, the British and German units quickly disarmed the Spanish units raised a usurper to the throne. Threatening the life of the young emperor Valentinian III, they forced his mother Galla Placidia to marry the new emperor, Albanianus. Together they oversaw the rest of the events. We're not sure what happened to the Imperial Boy, but rumour had it that he received a nice pension and a big villa on some lush island in the Meditterranean.."

Oooops... :roll:

P.S. Hispania Citerior is NOT Spain :twisted: .
