Our Historical Roman Reenactors portray the LEGIO VI "Ferrata Fidelas Constans" (The Iron Legion)
 The purpose of our organization is to serve the educational and public historical interests by presenting the life and times of the legionaries of Rome. We can arrange a program for you on Roman Military History down at the Old Las Vegas Fort. As most of us hold full time jobs during the day, we are generally unavailable to be part of a school program.
We primarily portray Late 1st, and Early 2nd century A.D. Roman Military personal. We also welcome people who are interested in portraying historical Civilians and other groups relative to the Roman period. Since we portray every day Roman life, anyone regardless of Gender, Race or Religion is welcome to join. As with all periods of time portrayed by Living History, we will make every effort to provide you with "Loaner Gear" during your first two years in the hobby as you evolve your own kit. To participate as a Roman Living Historian, it's recommended that you have at least the "Basic Roman kit" below.
Our organization takes the growth of this "era" very seriously. We are built on the concepts of "fun" and "safety" which go hand in hand in this hobby. In the cases both of members and equipment - we will always defer to quality over quantity. Our staff will help you get started, but you will also have to do some of your own research to learn about this period. We will not ask for all of your spare time either, as this is a hobby. However, we will ask you to be an active participate in at least 3 local activities a year. We offer 9 mid-day Living History Programs at the Old Las Vegas Fort, and we offer 3 Parades. Afterall, what is the purpose of investing in a hobby and not participating in it? In addition to the above purely local events, we participate in a select set of out of town events. We attend the Summer and Fall encampments in Southern California as part of Legio VI "Vitrix", as well as the famous AD43 "LAFE" event in Arkansas with Legio VI "FFC".
Basic Roman Kit:
Notes about your Roman Kit:
Reenactors who portray Roman Soldiers, will also have a few more basic elements to contend with. The first is the more detailed "kits" listed below as designed by our fellow Legion II in Colorado. Please understand that unless you have personally aquired your Basic Military Kit, there can be no discussion of you holding a military position, title, or rank. You will also have to pass a basic series of Tests of modern Saftey, and also Knowledge of the History and Tactics of the time. We are here to have fun, and bring history to life for people, not to fret over things that are an illusion for the public.
