Ave omnes,
some more of my clips from the Roman Festival 2004 at Hjemsted Oldtitspark /Denmark.
The Re-enactors are of the Northern German ‘Cohors I Germanorum’ (link from old RAT), joined by fellow ‘Germanics’ group. (The artillery shots you’ll find here’: http://www.romanarmy.com/rat/viewtopic.php?t=10106 )
The show was performed to explain and entertain families, visiting the iron age Park, so sometimes it is funny. I liked this Germanorum show, bringing history ‘to life’. Due to the audience and the small number of actors, don’t expect bloody swordfight or epic battles.
All clips are 640 x 480 (With Tarbicus’ help still working on a solution to shrinking them without losing tot much quality and uploaded here at RAT then, as far as being possible)
Inspection of the unit – the optio (?) seems to have no high opinion on his Germanic brothers in arms at the end of the line

Attacking with the shield

Using the hasta. The officer explained the hasta being more useful regarded as kind of a pugio connected to a 2 meters handle, than as an one way missile.

Miles drawing his gladius (normal speed and slow motion)

Drawing gladii in a shield wall formation. The officer points out why the gladius was worn on the right side. First the soldiers simulate drawing gladii worn at the left…

Using the gladius hispaniensis

How to use a light javelin (lancea?)

Sarnica (marching with personal equipment)
http://s104.photobucket.com/albums/m199 ... msted2.flv
What’s the cingulum useful for? Cool sound when jingling? (music added…) The officer demonstrates that the soldier won’t trust on its protection capabilities.
