Quote:If there are any legions of reenactors near you, you might persuade them to let you come on a hike or two with them, wearing the gear, so you'd have sort of a first hand "feel" of the way things were. Just a thought. And the conversations around the rest stops could help you, too.
Quote:That's a brilliant idea: I worked with Graham Ashford of Ludus Gladiatorius when I was researching "Gladiatrix" to get a feel for wearing and carrying the gear (I got drafted into the Leg II Aug too), but yeah - again, that's brilliant research cos you know what the stuff feels like when its on!
I finally found some active reenactment groups today! All I had found here in Colorado thus far were more Renaissance fair-based. I will contact these groups and see what I can get into. More to come!
