Roman Days 2005: Planning

[Lepidina]

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I'm still trying to get all the contacts from the units and participants from this year's Roman Days before I start a discussion about the date for next year. But I hope to do that within the week as I'd like to get the date nailed down as soon as possible.<br>
<br>
Most likely, the date will be moved back to either the first weekend in June or mid-May, mainly because the weekend that it is now is also the weekend of a big celtic festival that I perform at every year and we want to tap into the local schools for field trips.<br>
<br>
I'd also like to note that Roman Days isn't all military but ALL Roman and related life, which expands out to practically anywhere in the known world from the Etruscans to the Holy Roman Empire. I'd love to see more civ impressions. Usually Merlina is there with her Roman food display and dining set up but she was ill this year and couldn't come. If scholars want to do non-military displays, that would be exellent! I'm trying to get Matt to make some temple "widgets" like the oracle machines or a holy water dispenser for a small temple display. But we've got a lot of room to expand for other impressions and areas of Roman life, not just the legions.<br>
