Hi everyone,

My name is Matt, and i'm from Ashby-de-la-Zouch in the UK. I've been interested in history for a long time, especially ancient military history. My current area of interest is the late roman army (3rd - 5th century mainly) plus late and sub-roman britain. Saw this forum when doing a google search and thought I'd drop in! Big Grin

My name is Christophe and i am from France, east part, near Germany and Luxembourg border, the closest famous town is Trier (in German)(Augusta Treverorum).

As lot of little French, my vision of Roman Legion was during long time through Asterix Comics :roll: :oops:

Hollywood movies or TV Show like Masada, had catched my attention but when i found a book full of picture of Roman Legion renactors wrote by Dan Peterson, i realize how far i was from reality Confusedhock:

Several years ago, not awar of any intel. and short of money i purchase a gladius, a puggio and one of those Imperial Gallic type H Helmet from the Spanish brand everyone knows :roll:
(talking of that need to find the way you used to build a liner to not hurt to much my head)

While being interesting in more modern Military History, i meet Dan Petersen in Arlon shotshow, and his replika Confusedhock:
Again, what a shock? those look like real but expensive...
at the same time, one summer i watch a group renacting the Legion in Bliesbruck site in France. Perhaps have seen so -, some of you.

Years later, i decide at least to jump in this era by purchasing with Ebay (i know i know :oops: ) a Segmenta Lorica, a Glavius, a scutum, a pair of caligae and a tunica (got news that it was finished now).
Sparing money for the Pilum and the Cingulum.

Due to the area where i live (please apologize for my English, i am not so good), i would like to renact a member of the Legio II Augusta
9 - 17 AD: Moguntiacum, Germania (Mainz, Germany)
17 - 43 AD: Argentoratum, Germania (Strasbourg, Germany)

So thanks you so much to let me learn and discover the Legio in your forum
