Hi guys, have been looking into getting started, we are going to be working with a local Roman Villa on the south coast of England, portraying it's decline in the mid 4th century, as raiders became more commonplace. We are looking at portraying a mixed bunch of defenders in skirmishing with another group who will portray (possibly jutish? more research needed) raiders. As our site is a backwater I am thinking a mix of Roman Citizens both with military backgrounds and without. Would slaves have taken up arms too?
Before you jump on me we will be closely consulting with the villa for more detailed history and this is just the start of my research!
Somewht confused on dress and armour for this period- early research indicated riveted maille but have been told leather armour was more common! Any good guides would be welcome!
