But... Let me understand...
1. Is this Roman Army Talk, or not?
2. Therefore are we less or more all fans of the Romans, or not?
3. Is an event a feast, a gathering, a vacation, a festival, a celebration, all of those, or what?
4. Tobias proposed a big event to do in 2009. Ok. But is the "9" forced concurrence a must to give to such an event an appropriate justification to get the necessary attention (and money) from the sponsors, and so, a condicio sine qua non?
In my opinion, a big, "universal" event has to be done for a happy reason, i.e., a victory. If not no other justification but the "triumphal" gathering of all the roman reenactors, as cultural event of popularization of the roman army equipment, and memory of all the roman soldiers of the roman empire. I think that celebrating a defeat, or any other bad page of the roman history, just for the "9" concurrence is really unappropriate.
Tobias, please, organize the best event ever, we all will come, with all our stuff, but for a happy, honorable and joyful reason...
Valete,

desinet ac toto surget Gens Aurea mundo,
casta faue Lucina; tuus iam regnat Apollo ...
