Imperial Roman,
Suggested Reading List

Books... most reenactors have huge libraries and this period deserves no less... The first section here are books directly useful to the reenactor, not having so much emphasis on rusted bits of metal and their interpretation as others do. Scholarly works are fine, but not always the best for the reenactor.

And yeah, the first part is "Osprey-heavy"... why? Because they serve a good purpose; not only to give one a good grounding in a subject, but also they have COLOUR plates, which make things come alive. There are other books of course, and the first one I list is Dan Peterson's The Roman Legions Recreated in Colour Photographs. This book is SO excellent and it shows the kit in colour photographs -- that alone is worth it. Instead of looking at drawings or at best, colour paintings, you have real photos of people wearing and using this gear!

Almost last note: If you don't see a book listed here that you feel we need to have for sale, then PLEASE recommend it to us so that we can add it here!

Ugly Amazon Error page artAttention: You might see this ugly graphic, instead of the book cover which we have so carefully chosen for you to see. Alas, it means the book is not in print or Amazon is out of it NEW or something. It doesn't mean you cannot get it used, and often for CHEAPER... We will be going through and adding direct links to the book title itself, thus allowing you to get to the book's actual page and possibly even find it used. (I like used books!)

Anyway, we have a new bookstore system which will soon replace this. PHP-powered and it won't be messed up by the ad-blocker program.

Listing of Roman Units
(okay, and some Celt/Barbarian stuff too)

Legio IX Hispana

Okay, we have two different ways to view the links... Map links, meaning you see a button on the map and click there... easy enough. Or our links listing which has some info about the unit (well, as much as we could find... sometimes suprisingly little even when they DO have a website.)

Calendar FAQ for posting Events

Use our Calendar to promote your event!

Click here to go to the Roman Army Talk and reenactor.Net combined Calendar

Due to a need for us to make the Calendar easily understood by all, we have decided on a common format for posting -- first country (and state, Lander, etc., if needed) click here for list. Then location, the type of event (LH, Pub Display, combat, etc.). In the subject, an event would look like this: (D) Kalkriese (PD)

Then... describe your event -- Don't just say "Roman event" -- Tell us ABOUT the event!

  • Amenities (Straw, food, vendors, free t-shirt?, reimbursement for gas?)
  • What period? (Republican, 1st Century, 2nd Century, etc.)
  • Authenticity level
  • Crowd level expectations
  • Prohibitions (no fires, no digging, no alcohol, etc.)
  • Website Link -- you NEED a website! With the abundance of free web hosting and simple, FREE, tools to make a website, there is NO excuse for not having a website for your event. Please, follow these directions! If you can't follow our simple request, then we'll have our Praefectus Fasti ("Prefect of the Calendar") remove your event from our listings ;-( We ask little, other than that you follow our simple guidelines... PLEASE do so. We reserve the right NOT to list any event we feel objectionable.

This calendar, rising from the ashes of an earlier "joint" calendar, will try and become worthy. Please let us know what you think about it...

Legio Europa

Reenactment Units and Other Groups, Outside North America

If you have a Roman reenacting website and would like us to link to it, please click here.

So, okay.... here's what you're after. A listing of Roman reenacting units in Europe and outside of North America. Of course, some links will be dead, that being the nature of the Internet -- please let me know about dead links so I can repair or remove them. Anyway, when looking at a unit to join, take your time, don't get "recruit-itis" and just jump! Look, learn, study, ask questions... MAKE SURE the group you join is a good match for YOU and your interests — if not, you are only asking for an unhappy time.
