Group member Matthew Richardson dressed as the Magister Equitum
Photos are from the Magister Militum Facebook page. They are a re-enactment group focusing on recreating Roman soldiers of the 4th Century AD.
In the case of this blog it would apply the very early Eastern Empire.
Reenactors are a special kind of crazy. Their devotion to a tiny slice of history is incredible, and the depth of their knowledge is staggering.
