Castra Romana VIII, The Roman Army Festival of 2009 will be the Eighth annual Roman Imperial Army Encampment hosted in South Carolina. The event features the soldiers of Imperial Rome,
a scattering of civilians, and period craftsmen, an promises to be an educational gold mine for the re-enactor and members
of the public. Hosted by South Carolina's only group
of Roman Soldiers, Legio VI (www.legvi.com) and Soul of the Warrior (www.soulofthewarrior.com) the event has drawn rave reviews from those who have attended
it. While some after hours events are closed to the public, the majority of our drill demos and craftsmen are viewable
during daylight hours and intended for the public. Come out and see the Glory that was Rome! We are always looking for persons interested in joining the Legion, either as
a soldier, Gladiator, craftsman, or civilian, whatever your interest may be. If you are fascinated by what you
see, contact the Legion at justuslonginus@aol.com. We have extra armor to let you try it out before you spend
any money, or if you want to join our Romans in Training Program!
Please Note: Best
time for the public to attend is Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm.
