Time for some reenactment fighting photos! These are from the Milton Keynes festival of history two weekends ago. I always feel like it’s hard to find candid reenactment photos that actually look good so it was nice to see these! Feat. @pendragon__photography as a sneaky Brit!!! #reenactment #romanreenactment #thevicus #thevicusuk https://www.instagram.com/p/BzLtjfAjmor/?igshid=11tjg3nz2vxo

Full armour photos soon but here's a pic from the reenactment event this weekend at Fishbourne Palace! This site was the first Roman excavation I ever visited when I was 4 or 5 years old! I wanted to be an archaeologist at that point but I remember being told how shallow the excavations were and it just cemented in me my desire to dig and find things! I also remember wanting to buy a Roman bulla in the gift shop because I was fascinated by the idea of them warding off evil and all the boys in my class told me I couldn't have one because I wasn't a boy. It's funny that two decades later I'm ana archaeologist with a speciality in the Romans, a girl who reenacts a Roman (male) soldier, and still kept my weird interest in Ancient religious practices- go figure! (Also I still have the bulla I bought here) #thevicus #romanreenactment #fishbournepalace

Roman reenactment today at the Milton Keynes museum! I got to wear the soft Roman kit I made! @thevicusuk #thevicus #romanreenactment
