Not really, :wink: Sounds interesting, as I have been to holland so many times, and seen little, other than shipyards, motorways and airports!
Can see why the Batavians were such a bothersome lot!! :lol: :lol:

Byron is already a member of the RMRS but as a legionary, not a real soldier!

Woah! Look like the fiendish web-footed bog-trotters are revolting again! Unite brother legionaries of the 14th and remind Civilis who's really boss! :twisted:
Celer.

Thanks to you Adrian, the first US vexillatio of COH I will be started in Atlanta, GA.
Thanks so much to you, Paul and all the other members for making it possible.
We will post pics as we complete our kit.

What funny timing; I am doing a Batavian auxiliary at Roman Days in Maryland this year.
Here is a picture of part of my kit. My wife and I are at an SCA event and the black braccae are just for a special event at the event normally I would wear a rusty brown color. I have an 8mm round riveted with alternating flat solid punched rings that is my body armor. I need to take a picture of it all together soon. It was cold at that event which is why I have leg wraps and a cloak on:

Hi Peroni,
specifically as close as I can get to the famous horsemen who went swimming in their kit.
Although there is a limit to my enthusiasm when going swimming.
I will definetly not wear chainmail swimming trunks.
Too kinky for my taste. :oops:
I'm also very interested in information regarding the aux. stationed in and around Woerden, where I live these days.
Anything in regard to specific dress or shield design that is known.
There is going to be a exhibition here and I'm trying to get my facts as straight as possible.
Cheers,
Wim/Cordvs
