Så blev Kroppedal museum Erobret af Cohors II og Hvervingen. For første gang sammen, udgjorde vi et perfekt tidsmatch for oplevelsen af Danmark i Romersk Jernalder. Vi fik for første gang opstillet den store nye lejr, med taverne og værkstedstelte og 6 militære telte samt et tableau for Jupiter Optimus Maximus. Hold kæft hvor vi fylder!! STOR tak til Kroppedal Museum for et yderst velfungerende arrangement!


Kroppedal Museum near Copenhagen at Zealand, was this weekend sieged by Cohors II and our Ironage germanic barbarian brother group. Together we made the perfect frame for the time of Denmark and the Roman Empire. For the first time our complete camp was raised. Taverntent, workshop and 6 military tents, and, a tableau for Jupiter. Shit, we have gone BIG!

After the battle!



Den 2. juni havde vi fornøjelsen af at dø for Hendes Majestæt Dronningen. Lejre indviede deres nye flotte besøgscenter med kongeligt besøg. Vi lavede en lille kampopvisning med en træfning med babarerne fra Prindsens Hvervning, som et præludium til sommerens store event "Varus og de tabte legioner". Udfaldet af kampen var givet på forhånd, da det var os der skulle dø for sagen. Moritu te Salutant! som man siger!


On the 2. june we had the pleasure of dying for Her Majesty the Queen of Denmark. Lejre opened their new big visitors centre, and we were to show a fight with the babarians as an prelude to our big event, "Varus and the lost legions" that will take place in the park later this summer. Moritu te Salutant! as they say!
