For kids, there will be handicrafts, making their own shields, teaching the basics of heraldry, and with a sword, let them "fight"
For older people, 8 "impressions" dating from a IV century (late Roman) legionary (courtesy of Cohors Prima Gallica) to a XIX century fencing master, with a lot of medieval soldiery between, plus more (I will have to speak a lot, it seems), and of course, there are the real exhibits of the museum.
To end, a show of medieval longsword fight and explanation (that´s my part, too) :roll:
I know that the "roman" pieces of this museum are quite...few and funny :roll: , so I posted this here.
Somehow, a year ago I asked something about the Japanese armours to the Directress, and a year later, after a time closed for accesibility improving, I´m organizing the re-opening event.8)
It´s quite unlykely that anyone from RAT we´ll be near enough to attend, buut... :roll: maybe someone finds this interesting.
BTW, my first time organizing an event, and with just aged 22 (plus a week!)
