Well, we make 1st half of the 3rd century. Choose one between Caracalla and Gallienus.
Our webmaster is... er... lazy...
If I get some new pics, i'll put them in the reenactment gallery.

Ambrosius,
Yes, I know that church and sinagoge are from the same date :wink:
What I was trying to convey is that the fresco was on the wall of an army official building (Don't remember which one now! :oops: ) and the soldiers are depicted sacrificing to pagan gods on it.

Hi Aitor,

Shucks. And If I'm honest, I was just trying to 'jump-start' a discussion about Christianity in the late-Roman army. :lol:
Btw, do you know if Armillum are still trading? I've been trying to contact
Jorge for weeks, now, but no reply.

Ambrosius,
Oh, you can start that discussion very easily in a more straightforward way! :wink:
About Jordi (Jorge in Catalonian) I was in contact with him just a month ago. He is probably only busy... :roll:

Hi Caius,
I noticed yesterday that somehow I have trouble seeing all the pictures. Somehow, and this also goes for the events of last year, not all the pictures will open.
This varies from event to event, sometimes just one picture opens, sometimes all but two pictures become visible.
This does not vary from day to day, it's always the same pictures that open or not. yesterday exactly the same as today, and dleting cookies and refreshing the page doe'sn't help either.
Do you have some sort of data constraint with each page? I don't uinderstand it, because I never had such problems opening your website.

Strange. Maybe that was during site change. I have no problem at all, and can open everything. What Browser are you using?
*edit*: Are there others, who have the same problem?
If you want the pics, I'll upload them on RA.com

Looks like 2nd-3rd C. Who's the emperor?
Thanks for the support
Emperor ? Do you mean our little brass bust (hardly visible close to the incense dish in the Xanten image) ?
The bust is from Septimius Severus (Caracalla or Gallienus would have been even better as Caius already mentioned).
Bought it in 2000 AD at Puteoli, the trader wanted to sell it as 'Nero', but I could haggle and lower the price because 'Nero never had such a beard - this is not Nero - I don't want it - perhaps for a lower price...'.
Back then I would have loved to get a bust of Marcus Aurelius, but since I'm now more interested in the 3rd century, Septimius came very handy in retrospect :wink:

To follow on from what Peronis said earlier in the thread, we have been performing a religious display at virtually every event we have done for the last seven years (and as he also mentioned I am the frenetic acolyte that one or two of you may have witnessed if you have seen our displays and have been so for the last five and a half years). Usually the ceremony consists of a prayer to Jupiter, where we thank him for keeping the soldiers of the century safe and dedicate the alter to him to fullfill a previously made vow. This is normally followed by a short prayer to Mithras, on the pretext that the soldiers have recently heard of this new god from the east and have decided to hedge their bets somewhat. We have done one or two other things over the years. In addition to the weddings we have performed several lustrationes of various descriptions and sometimes make something of a religious display of putting our standards away for the night if we are in a location which lends itself to it. We also did a dediction ceremony for the new gate at the Lunt fort a few months back. The most atmospheric displays we have ever done were in the forest at Kalkriese and by the 'Old Work' at Wroxeter, and the most dramatic was in Bedford a few years ago, when no sooner than the words:"Jove! Insuplicatione!" had been said, the heavens opened and we were hit with thunder, lightning and sudden torrential rain!
"was it your group who did the Roman wedding ceremony at York Roman Festival, there was also a Mithraic ceremony, but I missed that."
As Peronis said, yes that was us. If you missed it then you also missed the first outing for my new toga, which I managed not to trip over as I moved swiftly about. Normally we wear our paenulae with the hoods up (the other soldiers all have their heads bare) but as both of the regualar principals in our religious display now own togas we may start doing more ceremonies as 'togati', if time allows.

I believe re-enacting religious services is very important in today’s world. Lots of different services would have been held daily. Over the years I have tried to answer questions, on marriage or devoice to the ever increasing and hungry for knowledge public. It’s a shame that today’s religious beliefs can sometimes spoil a good show. I’m not talking about grabbing a goat and slitting its neck. Around five years ago on the Chester Roman site near the wall, (while with Quinta) we wanted to show the public a very quick demonstration on a 3rd century wedding. Unfortunately we were refused permission because it was on (modern Christian) land!
I hope to be involved with a lot more successful religious events in the coming years. At the moment MITHRAS would be the one I would want to re-enact. After all he is the ONE TRUE GOD OF ALL GODS !!!!!!!!!!

All hail Mithras. All hail Mithras. All hail Mithras. King of kings. God of gods.
