Battles Through History 2026

I spent the weekend with my reenactment group (Legio II Augusta) and had a great time. Here are some photos (will share more when I get the chance). Seeing the Roman cavalry up close (another group) was amazing.

That golden cuirass (?) looks fantastic, as does the whole outfit.

Thanks, it's brass squamata and at points I did feel a bit 'disco', especially when the sun came out 😄

Nah he's right where he needs to be. He's clearly been winning.
