Roman Reenactors are .... (u finish the sentence)

[jkaler48]

..... often military veterans police officers teachers or history professionals of one sort or another.

..... by necessity skilled at sewing, leather work or metal work.

..... often older or retired people who have time for hobbies.

..... nearly always honest drug free and of good moral character.

...... resourceful, dedicated, hard working, and intelligent.

...... somewhat crazy (Proof? See Show here your reenactment in the snow photo thread)http://www.romanarmytalk.com/rat.html?fu...&id=299234

[Ammianus]

.....never fulfilled. We always need more kit! :lol:

.....always hoping the general public will love history as much as they do. And want to join in too.

[MARCvSVIBIvSMAvRINvS]

........too divided amongst themselves to join forces and conquer this world again so Rome can be restored to its rightful place, governing the world........

[Vindex]

...going to get rude comments from the Greek re-enactors for leaving them out :mrgreen: (and all the allies and enemies too!)

[Gaius Julius Caesar]

Some are arrogant beyong belief, rude, threatening, and condescending.
And hypocrits of the first degree.
I've met plenty who don't meet this unfortunate category though.

[Gaius Julius Caesar]

Some are just working people who love the history, and want to meet a different circle of people. Not all of us are born wit ha silver spoon in our mouths.
Double standards are rife...what a pity.

[MARCvSVIBIvSMAvRINvS]

Do I hear a tiny hint of frustration in your voice ?



M.VIB.M.

Just thought of another one.....


.........not Greek nor Macedonian. :twisted:




.

[Gaius Julius Caesar]

Frustration, no. Disgust, yes.

[Gaius Julius Caesar]

....giving up their time selflessly, not for mercenary gain at others expense.

....ex military people who have earned the right to respect from society.

....genuinely polite.

[Robert Vermaat]

........... very often kids who can finally play with toys they could never have earlier.
........... loving to show their toys to their own kids!

[Crispvs]

All of the above, but also ...

.... sometimes anything but well off and regretfully put up with kit which they know falls below standard while they learn the skills to make what they need themselves at a fraction of the cost they would otherwise need to pay, whilst at the same time trying to advise their friends on the correct standards, which they themselves hope soon to attain. I would not like to think of such people as hypocrits per se. :wink:

[mcbishop]

Lovely people, especially when they make me a cup of tea. All barking, of course, but then so am I... ;-)

Mike Bishop

[Cheyenne]

..............Completely mad, obsessed human beings (well I am anyway)

................NOT drug free (think about the amount of alcohol some re-enactors consume???)

[Cavok]

.......Thinks of wine more as a food staple and one of five a day.

.......Passionate nutcases.

[Medicus matt]

.....high-scorers on the Autistic spectrum and usually OCD sufferers.
