Looks pretty amazing! (and a great day to boot!)
I'm no expert in these get togethers. Is this a pretty large number for a reenactment? I'm very impressed with those numbers.
Anyone else have photo's/video/reports?

Thanks everyone for their positive comments
For Harris and Dudicus I have included more photos and a short video I put together of the event
On a personal note I had brought my Severan 3rd C gear to wear but rules and regulations together with no other 3rd C group being present prevented this. But I enjoyed the event nevertheless and it did give me the chance of seeing and inspecting the scale armour that Peroni sells through his Armamentaria website which I may consider sometime for my early 3rd C impression.

Quote:Too bad they chose this date for the event as most of my group (including myself) were unable to attend due to exams
I am sorry you missed out on your groups visit to
"de Muur van Hadrianus". I think the event date was chosen because it was the English schools mid term holiday week so as to maximise potential family visits to the event.
Perhaps next time the organisers will try to coordinate dates that avoid Belgian exam times !!!!. Anyway I hope the exams went well for you.
Here are a few more photos which I think are of your group as I recognise the brown shield design from the LegioXI C PF website. If they are not of your group let me know and I will change the photo captions.

Great photos. Thanks for sharing. 8)
I wish we had something like that here in the states.
By the way, I have a question about Chris Hane's tunic(s).
Is Chris wearing a red under tunic and a white tunic over it OR is it a white tunic with red borders? Just curious since I like how it looks.

Hi everyone,
Does anyone who was present as a re-enactor knows the name of the proffesional photographer who took photos from 12 legionars (including me) near the scottisch border at Hadrians Wall ?
I would really really really like to get my hands on those photo's as the scenery and settings where great !
