Articles on kit and equipment and
manufacture
These are our articles on various aspects of the
period, which are mainly aimed at the re-enactor.
More are being added all
the time, although they are primarily a complement to the
Iron Age Clothing and Equipment
guide that is now available.
For a complete resource on re-enacting
the Iron age then the Iron Age
Clothing and Equipment guide available online.
For a complete resource
on re-enacting the early Roman invasion period then we recommend the
Legio XX site in the
USA (they come up first on a google search for a very good reason).
