Endromides, a decent pilos helmet, Thrakian romfaioforos with reconstructed Argo - this is getting way too cool ! Congratualtions to all of you. If we had to vote on the best impression over the years it would be very dificult indeed.

Excellent work. When and who constructed the Argos? That is way too cool!

Yes,this is Argo II. The first one was built many years ago and it was a much smaller ship, based on a famous vase of Odysseus and the Seirens. I know very little about it. So this is Argo II.

These are all amazing! There's a Greek/Roman gathering that's taking place in Madison, Wisconsin in the first week of August that I won't be able to attend, but I'm sure it will feature many folks dressed as such. It would have been my first festival of that nature and unfortunately I will have to miss it. But on the plus side it is because I'll be attending my first semester of graduate school at Indiana University. Go Hoosiers!
