Re-enactment is a hobby that involves the recreation of some aspect of a bygone era
and attracts people/participants of all genders, ages and occupations. This type of
activity has a long history as evidenced by the Roman re-enactment of historic military
engagements in their arenas. Today many modern museums and historical sites
employ staff in living history settings to educate and stimulate the public.
Roman army re-enactors (as role players) typically fabricate their own equipment,
dress in period clothing, seek to experience military camp life in a setting contemporary
with the era in which they have an interest, (inclusive of weapons practice, parade
square drill, execution of camp fatigue duties, etc.), participate in patrols and engage in
mock combat (as depicted in the photographs below).
