Not playing this time, it was Roman Re-enactment at High Cross near Lutterworth, a great crowd of around 600 and locally brewed real ale just for this event!!
Not only that but lots of ladies wanted to be photographed with me

| Sounds good! The diet of ordinary Roman soldiers was mostly porridge, bread and beer, so locally brewed real ale is very appropriate! |

The name doesn't ring a bell, but we may have met at one of the reenactor markets

We took along a four table display of Romano British food along with a soldiers canteen & cooking gear, ranging from the very basic chappatti like bread used when stocks are low, to several types of unleavened bread, Iron age fruit crumble up to a full Roman banquet, including pears in white wine!! all available for the visitors to try, and very healthy with no additives |

^ The Roman officers certainly did have a much better and more varied diet than ordinary soldiers, I believe the ordinary soldiers very rarely got feasts or wine, some things never change!
At Vindolanda Fort on Hadrian's Wall there is a letter home to Italy from some poor Roman soldier, sent up there wearing clothes suitable for Italy, but a bit lacking for winter up there in the Scottish Borders, and his words about this place barely need translation from Latin: "Extremis horribilis Britannicus" ... the horrible extremes of Britain. They must have hated it here! |

That area hasn't changed!!
They did adapt fairly quickly toour weather, and as some had been in northern europe before, they were more hardened to the cold and wet, but the requests for warmer clothing say a lot!
