Spectaculum Romanum at Rimburg

[Marcus Mummius]

Salvete,

Last weekend a Roman event was held at Rimburg and Ubach-Palenberg. The weather was nice and over the weekend there were 20.000 visitors. A big succes.

Legio XI CPF (Belgium) was one of the groups present. Alas several of our soldiers were ill. But even with the small turn out we had a lot of fun.

Here are some pictures of my group taken last weekend:

For the first time ever at a public event we were allowed to dig a ditch! It's a fairly small one (only about 1m deep), but still, we got to dig a ditch !

Charging the public is always fun. Most of them are unarmed


Too much vinum isn't good for you:


Our cooks made a lot of Roman food for the public to try:

Another part of our cooking display. People absolutely loved the Roman tid bits they could taste. Most of the ceramics were made for us by RAT member Andreas Gobinus.

Another example why too much vinum isn't good for you:
