Quote:I recently attended a ‘Late Roman’ battle re enactment, and I overheard someone in the crowd say ‘They don’t look like Romans..do they’ Fortunately, the event was accompanied by an excellent commentary which went to great lengths to explain the why’s and wherefores of the whole early/middle/late Roman question and how and why they were seeing these Romans dressed this way at this time!I bet I know which group that was... :wink:
