Hi Marsh,
I assume you are referring to an earlier type Roman legion, as that is what most reenactors on this forum are, but there has also been talk of the same idea for late Roman reenactors in the U.S. as well. I don't know the details of how such a unit would be organized, but if it could be planned correctly, I would be all for this idea, at least from the late Roman reenactor's view point. Because there are not that many of us in the United States, it would be a good idea at a large "national" event where many of us were gathered to present a uniform appearance (at least with shield insignia), so that it didn't look like a motley gathering of tiny units. We would appear as one unified group. Now, having said that, I must admit that I don't know yet how our leader(s) or specific unit would be chosen, but I think a democratic voting election would be a fair way of accomplishing this goal.
I agree with you that it would be a very complicated thing to accomplish, but I would be willing to try it if others were agreeable as well. :wink:
