Hi Christian,
Not easy to respond when having only one vote and not a multiple one so I picked other with explanation here in the thread: Actually why I started to do re-enactment/living history (or whatever you wanna call it) was that I was always interested in Roman history and actually it got triggered by the movie "Gladiator" in 2000. So I bought many books on Rome and in 2005 I went to my first Roman reenactment event at Kalkriese. Since then I wanted to do something like that as well, so nobody talked me into it, it was just me. When I got involved more into the matter, one point of doing it is also to show the people this certain part of Roman culture of which many know a lot about but mostly from Hollywood movies. So now educating people is also a part of motivation of doing it.
