The invitations will be going out soon, but the dates are fixed:

Guess what? :roll: York's Roman Festival is on 29th-30th July 2006 ([url:b5dp7azi]http://www.yorkromanfestival.com/[/url]), and we're currently in negotiation for our participation in this event. Obviously, it's a Late Roman special date, as Constantine was hailed emperor in York in 306 AD. So the chances of us being a bunch of stay-at-homes again are very high. Sorry

One day, but not yet (not yet)

Greetings Viv,

I know what you mean, but I don't think one has to be specifically female to be annoyed at the clash of dates ... :wink:

Archeon is an attractive venue with lots of lovely reconstructed buildings, and one day Kurt and I will visit. Robert puts a lot of work in getting the groups together and it's a shame we probably won't be there this time round.

Any dissident will be welcome, of course! :twisted:

Hi Cezary,
Well, estimates are difficult, but last year we had about 70 participants (50 soldiers and 19 civilians).
We had an event at the same weekend last year, so any Late Medieval event in that weekend will have been longer ago…
I know there’s a Roman event in the spring, and the Roman Days with Legio II Augusta are right after our Late Roman event, during the first two weeks of August.

LUCIUS ALFENUS AVITIANUS:

"impresionant"...

hum, I wish but our new tactical drill is not really finished...

We have another interpretation to the roman formation technics at war and this year, a lot of thing change. with help to blumted weapon and simulacre, the show is most dynamic and logic, most historical and simplify too. Strangely, It is most efficience too... At this moment we have much working the Vegetius chapters XIII and VIV of LIBER III with new cognition. Of course, work to the front battle line individual combat and hypothethic "turn-over" proposition.

And you are laugh Valerius... But it's true, the total space alloted to each roman soldiers in line (ordo, or late manipulus...) is 3 feet; not a space of 3 feet between each soldier... mea culpa... :oops:

Ok, Valerius I send to you a mail for most details...

A plus...

[Paulus Claudius Damianus]

Chapter XIV, LIBER III... sorry.

Oooh, I know your group and I can't wait to see it! I hope we can go to Bavay, but we also have an invitation for an event here in The Netherlands and going abroad might be in the way of my family's holiday...

Yes! yes! !:
Do you have access to a text of Syrianus Magister's text? It pre-dates the Strategikon by possibly 50 years or more.

I only have one reference: Zuckerman Constantin, "The Military Compendium of Syrianus Magister", Jarbuch der Osterreichischen Byzantinistik, 40, 1990.
