Hello,
I'm a middle school Latin teacher, and my head of school wants me to organize "Roman Soldier" drills with the students. I know my Roman history, but I am NOT a military historian. My reply was that to my knowledge, Roman soldiers marched long distances (post Marius) carrying quite a lot of gear, and were famous for covering incredible amounts of ground, but I was unaware that they did parade ground drills.
Anyone know? Are there any re-enactors in Washington State?
Thanks in advance,
Maripat Webber
