Just a thought, but if we were to chose a Cohors Batavorum unit for the permanent display troops at Noviolocus, we could issue free tickets on demand through RAT for every auxilia legionary of the international Cohors Batavorum and one accompanying person once we get the park of the ground. No need to kit up, thats only when events are hosted, but allowed if one wishes.
The only real "problem" with that is the Batavians were shipped over to England after the revolt and we are reconstructing a camp of the post-revolt times (Trajanus to Hadrianus). Not that the spectators would notice. It's more a matter of shield design and standard. The kit would have to be auxiliary anyway, as Lego X left in 113 ad and the Limes was mostly manned by auxiliary. Quite a few equitata cohors, so we will have a cavalry detachment on permanent display. Is there any standard "rule" for inviting re-enactments groups over to tyhemeparcs and shows. We were thinking of supplying an original barracks in the castellum, offering free room and board (hefty Roman meals in the dining quarters).
