Salve everyone,
My real name is Fabian Behrens and I'm 25 years of age. I'm from Bamberg, Germany and I'm studying to be a teacher for the subjects of German and history at the University of Bamberg. Before I started my studies I spent two years in the German Army and became a reserve officer in the infantry. In my free time I am a swimm coach and I swimm myself (more or less professional). other Sports I occasionally do are skiing, biking, running and sword fighting (longsword after Lichtenauer and long knive).
My interest in the roman army goest back to a my kindergarden age when I got a book with acient storyies about Caesars' life and other stories about several roman battles.
This interest became more solid as I started to do Live Role Playing.
[I know what Reenactors like you think about live roleplay and I have to admit you are generaly right! So I hope you will see this as a humble try to improve for me.]
I asked myself what cind of role I'd like to play and the answer was instantly a roman legionary. I started research about the equipment and builded a lorica segm,entata after the patterns described at the homepage of the XX.Legion.
After some time I met more and more people who shared that intrest and I becam a member of the X.Legion (Larp group). We try to get to reenactment kit standards to do "reenlarpment". This still is a long way and I wanted to learn from the professionals like you. That's one reason why I'm here.
I hope to piss noone off, doing live role play.
The other reason to be here is also to look into roman reenactment and mybe get in contact with english / german reenactors and try reenacting.
I am happy for every advice you can give me.
my next projects are to build another lorica segmentata (combrdge type B)some new tunics and a propper balthaeus / cingulum.
If someone knows a dicussiun about one of these topics please post a reply and a link to it.
Thank you and Vale,
Ursus.
