Hi all, Here is last year's schedule. We need to add back in the fashion show. My brain is completely fried right now trying to organize the advertising so ...
To all vendors of Roman stuff, Can't make it to Roman Days in June? No problem. For a small fee, we'll display your advertising materials on our "Graffiti...
Hi Deb, all, Do we have a schedule of events for Friday? I know that's when I'm planning to do a lot of interactive stuff with visiting students about Roman...
... Oh dang, I thought I posted that I'm nixing Friday programs this year because most of the schools that were interested can't do field trips in June. Don't...
Hi Deb, all, ... If you did I completely missed it. Anyhow, I'm glad I asked. Now I'll have time to make some other plans for that day. ... I won't. We can...
... I don't think Emilie is going to run it. Hers was excellent because she did the research, wrote the script (and stuck to it!), arranged models well in...
Matt brings up a good point about pushing the date to end of June. I don't think there are any other events in the Eastern part of the US or Canada that would...
A mock Roman trial would be great, though probably should not last as long as the real ones did. I guess we could arrest someone and throw them in the dock. ...
While I'd be willing to move the date back next year, it will be STINKIN' hot and HUMID by the end of June. Temps are easily in the upper 80s with about 90%...
Unfortunately, we cannot swap our date from May. That is the only time that we have free to do our event. Our schedule is very tight from May through ...
... Yuk. But that was a fluke right? You guys got a nutty heatwave last year. Everytime I've gone up North in the Summer, I leave in 90 degree weather and end...
... Ludus Gladiatorus can't make it but there are a couple guys from Georgia that are part of Legio III that are coming. ... Bill or Mike, want to wear your...
Hi all, ... Sure. I'll bring both my toga praetexta (magesterial, with the nifty purple border) and my toga picta (all purple, gold border). I might have an ...
Salve, Censor Marine, et salvete, omnes! ... Bill's togae are quite impressive, too, and he has nice, new boots as well. ... If Marca Hortensia comes (as she...
Salve, Deb, et salvete, omnes! ... I believe that Matt also has a Republican-period toga virilis--the Imperial version required three people to drape it...
Salve, Magne, salve, Quinte, et salvete, omnes! ... It may also be relevant that the schools here up north don't get out until the third week of June, preceded...
Salve, Quinte, salve, Deb, et salvete, omnes! ... That's just it--you have to have the models and their outfits lined up in advance, so you CAN write something...
Around the DC area, Fairfax County has the largest Latin program, and the county system has more money for field trips in late Sept/Oct and around April/May....
It can go from one extreme to other rather quickly. You just never know if you're wearing shorts or a wool cloak from year to year. If you want to see what...
I was thinking last year, after my daughter finished a class on Roman Law, that a Roman law court would be good to have in the program, but I had no idea how...
it can be done, in the 15thc camp we try to pull the public into service work for the lord, and have them carry things to the table... make them feel as if ...
... Then it's settled - we'll do a Roman court on Sunday. Bill, can we put you on the hot spot to officiate and come up with a good case scenerio? We could do...
Hi Deb, all, ... Sure. I've been thinking about this all morning, and I have some ideas that I'd like to run past you and the group. Legio XX is, notionally,...
Avete! My only concern with the court scenario, like any other "skit", is that it could look cheesy or over-acted. Remember that we are reenactors, not ...
Ave, I agree, we'll have to be careful. Have to consider as well attention span and how long this could be. I think a lecture explaining each step will break...
... Oh cool beans. I think Steve, our sun-burned barbarian would be up for that. And we should have a few auxilliary types around to pose as native-Britions as...
... Well drat. I thought you had a set of wooden swords. I can only get a bunch of wooden rifles. Kind of out of period. Maybe we can figure something out for...
Hi Deb, all, ... Yeah, he could do it one of two ways, either as an accused or as a native person bringing a complaint against a Roman. The trick there is ...
... [...] ... Let's make this the Toga Picta (all purple, with gold trim). [...] ... If Mike Cope is there, he has a toga praetexta that he could wear with his...
Okay gang, Here's the schedule: Saturday 10:00 Open to the Public 11:00 Full Muster Opening Remarks 11:30 Kids’ Cohort (Drill) (Quintus, are you doing...
