Handbook
Legio VI FFC Handbook:
Finally our own Handbook, but our Handbook will never be finished due to on going digs all over the
empire, more details on suppliers and construction tips. This Handbook was created to help our members and other Roman
re-enactors for three reasons: 1) find good quality gear, 2) to know what is appropriate for our time period, and 3)
help construct equipment from basic materials.
Although we, as a group, do not place a strong emphasis on historical accuracy we do encourage our
members when that bug has bit them. This is a hobby to enjoy! The time period we aim for is 33 AD - 73 AD,
but with the lack of unit specific evidence and the mis-interpertation of archeological finds, writen evidence, and over a thousand
year of distorted history, you will soon find that we are simply recreating a "typical" first century legionary.
The basic equipment required for participation at events include: sandals/caligae, tunic/tunica, and belt/balteus with pugio/dagger. Once these are completed, purchased, or borrowed from the legion (we maintain 20 complete kits) a recurit may
take the field with the legion.
Many of the descriptions of the items can be found on our website, also when ever a section is updated
or revised the date at the top of the page is changed. So that you can make sure you have the most up to date information.
Special thanks to Legio XX, Legio XI, Soul of the Warrior, and Roman Army Talk
for information, pictures, and inspiration!!

soldier and civilian. Linked by permission, here you will find LOADS of info on your impression.
