Thank you, please tell me it's true that all foreign reenactors in Rome have health insurance? in case of any injuries at the event.

vassyli

I have heard that its true- maybe not everyone but most of them. I don't know if its necessary but they have it just in case. When you don't have such insurence u can't get any payback if u are hurt during fights.

I think that my friends know something more and they'll share with us.

By the way, can we call such kind of reenachment as an extreme sport? Smile

Teodor, that the Legion Legio I Adiutrix?,
where?, is their website? what are they?, details.
They fought with the barbarians of the Middle Ages to the early iron weapons? how did it happen?, there are photos? Video?
Thanks.

Vassyli, I would say it's traumatic sport), thank you.
You can ask
how much you weigh in kilograms of equipment? (shield, Lorica, sword, helmet).
what thickness you Lorica in millimeters?

Thanks.

Teodor: perhaps you should have created your own forum instead of advertising yourself (by this I meant you personality, your equipment and your group) on ours. Take no offence, but that's a damn shame on you.

Lycii- I really appreciate your concern, your will to find new friends in renacting, share new ideas etc. That's cool, something far beyond borders and distance (you are from Petersburg, right?- and that is quite a distance!) Internet is a place where we can get such contatcs. As far as I remember, you are on my "friends list" on Facebook, am I right? If it is so, I'm glad we have another bond to communicate with each other Smile

I saw a few of your photos, and again I'm glad that there are even more people interested in renacting something else than I century a.d. only than I originally thought! Very Happy

I've noticed that you had a few questions about battles and fighting in a combat, weapons used when fighting etc. Well, in Poland, just like Vassyli said, generally we use metal weapon, swords, spears, sometimes we even use javelins with no protection on, but from time to time, we have to use wooden substitutes (when obliged to do so).

How is it like in Russia?

Regards,

We in Russia, St. Petersburg, our club strive to recreate the Roman army. The harsh conditions of service. In battle, we only use iron weapons, and only the stitching technique. Our enemies are experienced fighters, barbarians 9.12 ages who are eager to do us maksimplny damage. These barbarians dress up to 1-2 century AD Our opponents are also fighting only iron weapons and strike very hard. When their attack does to our Lorick, helmets and shields, we do not pay attention to it, only just hear the sound, but if the barbarians get into an arm or leg, it has war wounds.

Not very often, but sometimes we fight with drunken barbarians, and then fight to get very hot and dangerous.

Example. Personally, I was drunk barbarian sharpened spear deep cut his left leg, the whole Platz was filled with my blood.

One of our soldiers edged sword, barbarian cut through the chain mail and inflicted a deep wound in his left shoulder.

The main direction of our club, this is war.

We check on all the possible conditions of life of the Roman legionary.

We also have a new direction. Maximum number of Roman soldiers left for the Roman camp for 8-10 days, and has a full life of a soldier.
Building and strengthening of the camp, many hours of training, march throws at 7-16 km. night watch and guard. During all days of the enemy can attack at any time.

By the end of the event, in recent days, people stop noticing the pain abrasions and scratches, bruises and fatigue, they are dirty, evil and ready to fight, not noticing the small wound. Only after the battles people are starting to notice the wounds, grazed the skin on the right wrist, grazed code obeyh feet mazoli rubbed on the legs and shoulders.

After these battles, our armor, again passing the test on the force of the blows. Most dents are on the back and along the spine. Very often fall into the helmet.

If there are still some issues, specifically, I will answer with pleasure.

I can also send you photos and video links.

nice...

Well... there is something about our countries that seems to be quite similar- and that is... - drunken barbarian! Of course, it's not a general rule (many of our friends, especially those on this forum are a good example of such an exceptions), but it's quite often.

If talking about the combat, living in a camp- I'm impressed! But to be honest- we don't play "sissies" ( Razz

) each time we fight as well. Perhaps- there will be an opportunity to organise a few nice battles one day... who knows...

But- there is also another direction towards which we are turned- and that is an educational purpose of our roman activity. We are not locked in a camp doing all this stuff for personal satisfaction only. Each time we are invited to some sort of renactment festivals, we present what we have to the public- you may call it- a small open-air lesson of the history- in this particular case- a history of roman army. And that is another attitude to the subject, which is ours, for almost 10 years by now. And we are trying to do our best in it (if it was different, what would be the point of doing this? If you are doing something, all you can do is to do it in the best way you can, am I right?)

According to the wound and injuries you have mentioned... well... it happens! What else can I say? There is nothing to brag about, but we also had a few such accidents... yet- to get an injury, visit hospital in tunica is not our main aim we want to achieve:P Please take no offence:P

How is it like in Russia? Are there any previously organised events, let's call it "festival" in which you are taking part, or is it like a "weekend picnic" in which instead of eating sandwiches on a blanket you are fitghting in roman equipment- all organised by a few fellows from yours somewhere beyond the city? I have to admit, I'm really curious about it... Then- is it often for you to have an organised meetings with other groups from Russia, or any other foreign countries? And final question- if I was about to visit you one day- what sort of beaurocrat forms, documents, which offices should I visit and what terms should I fulfill to enter russian territory with my reconstructed equipment and without any stress of being acuused of international terrorism?

Regards...
(can't wait for the answers:P)

thanks, I was talking about injuries, not to brag, but in order for you knew beforehand what would happen if you arrive to us. Here in Russia, if you are seriously injured, friends help (and perevyazhut prodizinfitsiruyut), and then himself. We do not have health insurance. If injured, the injured no one will pay for your treatment.

Such events, where you need to speak to the audience, we have virtually no (1-2 times per year). Festivals like you, until just starting a once a year. Nobody finances, all doing their own expense.

Most events, it exits from Saturday to Sunday in a Roman camp, 100 km from the city. On Saturday, come, has been repairing the camp, fighting for the remaining day and night and leave on Sunday. Each of us carries a big backpack of his outfit (including shield), first on the subway, after a train, then by foot or by bus, and then walk to the Roman camp. We have only until one car (sedan), which carries only the Tents and meals.

This year our club organizes a second festival in Rome, gathering in one place all the people who rekonstruirut Rome, from all possible cities to invite yourself to a second fesival.

If you want to come to us, we think first you need to go as a tourist (no iron), all the equipment we will issue you, food and lodging (in RIMCO tent) will be.

Unfortunately nobody to us from abroad with the equipment did not come. I do not know what documents are needed. There are chances that you will be detained at the border (with equipment). You need to host all their equipment to pay for expertise to it (equipment) approved as the Fake and I S THE historic value.
