Sean's post is more what I mean... I have <strong>NEVER</strong> said that fire-blue IS the <strong><em>only</em></strong> way or in fact a way, I said it might be. We are talking TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO... who really knows. Until my comrade Magnus get's his time machine running and we can see that all Romans wore pink-painted Lorica, we shall never know.<br>
<br>
Anyway, I just feel that as reenactors, we should keep an open mind. I am not some close-minded academe who only looks at rusty bits. I DO think there is a lot to be learned from it, but what will they think 2000 years from now (assuming the big meteorite doesn't hit the Earth in 2014 and kill us all)?<br>
<br>
And oh yes, we DO need an overall Roman Reenacting Organization... it's going now, look for info on it soon.<br>
