Hamian Archers

[Daniel S Peterson]

I believe the largest contingent of reconstructed Hamian/Levantine Roman auxilliary archers were the six provided by LEG XIIII, in uniform dress and equipment, among the 45 man U.S. Army contingent that attended the Albano/Rome living history event. The group used the reproduction bows from Hungary, and fired blunt arrows at the LEG XXX Testudo during the demonstration. I lost my images of the event with the return to the U.S., but believe they are posted in the RAT archived messages.
