Tell you guys what...hide beyond your text books and "sources" all you want, but that is simply the beginning of reenactment. Come on out to Lafe, which seems to be one of the few events that is immersion based and making a concerted effort to experiment in an archaeological context, and then we'll continue this discussion.
Far too many of you base so much of your opinions on the theoretical without implementing any of it and testing it out. Makes your opinions a bit hollow.

I agree. Or come to Augsburg University, we are doing this every tuesday for three hours since almost a year now.

Gladiatorial Christian or legionary stuff? What are you using for an "enemy" force? If you have any video, that may help others improve on their impression or create new ideas for experimentation.
Rusty said the Lafe video will be out soon...hopefully not too much longer. Though I am not sure what has been captured on it.

If you are looking for some trained Gallo-Germanic fighters you know where to find us.
A few weeks back we did some filming for National Geographic.

I am starting a thread titled "Tactics: Employment of the Gladius" to further the tactics discussion as many who may be interested may have not seen the discussion as it is in this thread titled "Vembraces"
