Welcome to the home page of the ISPA, The Imperial Southern Provisional
Army. The ISPA is a loose organization of Roman Reenactors, Legions, Gladiators, Citizens, Auxila, and Enemies of Rome
in the Southeastern United States. Its stated purpose is to facilitate cooperation and growth between its member units.
The ISPA does not collect dues or funds, and member units may be
run as they please. Basic requirements for joining are three members in a group (though individuals are free to join
our email list too!!), and meet our minimum authenticity standards.
ISPA units Sponsor several events annually including Castra Romana
in South Carolina, Memorial Day Timeline in Georgia, and Lafe Encampment in Arkansas. Basically this means they are
considered "maximum effort" events (in other words, everyone should try to go!!).
The ISPA also maintains a "growing" drill manual in latin online
here. This manual evolves, but units should endeavor to at least be familiar with the drill for ISPA events, though
we encourage you to adopt it for your unit.
We are in need of period enemies! If you are a celt, pict,
or gaul willing to fight against Rome, contact us!
Please feel free to contact us for any questions!
