Legione Romana VI Victrix

I. ROEMERKOHORTE OPLADEN

Legionari of I. ROEMERKOHORTE OPLADEN during the Roman encampment at Aalen, 24th settembre 2000. Centurio Klaus Schwab commanded a mixed unit of legionari ed auxiliary soldiers at this event. The soldiers demonstrated basic fanteria drills e they participated in a mock battle between an advancing line of heavy fanteria versus opposing skirmishers. Roemerkohorte Opladen also owns ed operates a reproduction of a Roman Balista. The weapon is capable of throwing large stone balls at enemy formations, although wooden training projectiles were used at Aalen. Throughout the day the Centurio, Optio, Signifer, Horn-blower, Medicus e legionari regolari were on hand to answer the many questions about their equipaggiamento personale e the life e times of a Roman soldier.
