Salvete omnes! Sorry for the Latin-I guess I need someone to teach me a little Greek so I can address correctly LOL
Someone has just asked if there are any Greek reenactment/living history groups in the UK and I realized that we could really use a list of all the groups RAT members are associated with or know of- to help any new folks find other crazy people to play with :wink:
If you all wouldn't mind posting your group's:
name/title
location
website link (if you have one)
relevant contact info (for maybe one member here?)
- and anything else you think would be useful in a short list
I'll assemble them and create a permanent thread here.

Here is a list I have been compiling,
Some of the links may be down and the groups may range from 2 members to 50. I could be wrong about some. I have missed Lysandros' group because I am not sure of the name. I know that in Russia there were one or two groups about 6 or more years ago but I have lost contact with them.

Figli del Sole have an amazing Facebook page with about 250 photos [url:3e9gig4m]http://www.facebook.com//profile.php?id=1705515890&ref=pymk#/profile.php?id=1705515890[/url]. Celts Romans and lots of Greek peltasts and hoplites ...did I mention dancing ladies as well as a snake and a raven.
I don't read Italian but it looks like their may be even more groups out there that we haven't even encountered yet on some of the social networking pages.

Andrey from Anabasis has had difficulty registering on RAT but keeps a watching brief on what we are up to. They have started off with peltast impressions but are moving to do Bosporan hoplites to fit in with their climate (read able to wear trousers to keep warm). They also have one member interested in Achaemenid kit. Andrey informs me there is a newly formed Persian group in St Petersburg as well. This group is dedicated to the history of ancient Iran pre-Islamic period from the VII century BC to the VII century BC. They have a V-Kontakte presence as well [url:191jg0sh]http://vkontakte.ru/club13666698.[/url] I have attached an image of Anabasis on patrol.[attachment=0:191jg0sh]<!-- ia0 Anabasis3.jpg<!-- ia0 [/attachment:191jg0sh]
