FIrst National Muster for Legio IX Hispana
FEBRUARY 9th-16th, 2009
We will gather at the SCA's Estrella War:
http://www.estrellawar.org/ESTRELLAWAR.aspx
We'll set up a Roman camp with bread ovens plus a forge and workshops for the manufacture of essential kit to include: metal, wood and leather craft... such as [loricae] segmentatae, pila, furcae (carrying-poles), loculi (satchels), tegimentes[/i] (scutum [shield] covers) and so on.
We're also working on a way to glue up scuta using methods that might have been used to create a Roman gluing jig.. more than one at a time!
This will be an excellent opportunity for Members to spend as much as a week working on kit!
Other activities wil include morning assembly, weapons drill and a daily march as well as at least one campaign march in full kit!
We'll camp on site as historically as possible!
Why the Estrella War?
- several of us already attend
- it will help promote our Arizona and Texas chapters
- it's central to most of the Legio IX membership
