Terra Dacica Aeterna at Sarmizegetusa

Roman toughness

..and softness

March before the consacratio

Being part of a reenactment group is a novel and inspiring experience for me. It makes research a practical, immediately useful activity; it brings back childhood memories of going on school trips and summer camps; it makes you think about how others see you and force you decide if that is important to you or not. All in all, I recommend it, even for people who are not particularly fond of history or Antiquity. As not much choice is available, I recommend my own group: Terra Dacia Aeterna from Cluj-Napoca. Here are some shots of our latest trip to Sarmizegetusa, the capital of Roman Dacia.
