Awww. Sorry I missed you Dave! I was there on Sunday!
Its always good to put a real face to a web-name
Glad Marius was informative. He's a valuable member! Did the grandson get to try on the kids sized segmentata?
I'll be there Saturday next.... what's that Dec 1?
Forge and oven a-blazing away. Weavers will also be there.
Thanks for the atta-boys!

Actually, our grandson Kalani tried on Marius' own segmentata which was, of course, way too big and a bit too heavy. He also had a chance to hold a gladius and scutum, which impressed him greatly as did the marching pack and the pilum. We have talked about these and looked at them in books but it really makes an impression to be able to see them in the flesh so to speak.
With any luck, and if our various work / school schedules permit, we may try for a second visit on December 8th for the Military weekend.
Sorry we missed each other but perhaps the gods will yet smile upon us.
Once again our thanks to you team -- great work
