I would like to see this article expanded. I added: "The Roman Army did not remain static and, whilst sometimes demonstrating these changes in displays of the evolving equipment and appearance of the legionary, most groups also focus on a particular time period. The most popular period is probably the 1st-2nd century, with legionaries wearing the characteristic segmented armour illustrated on Trajan's Column. However, some groups portray the Late Roman legion, after the army reforms of Diocletian."

I would welcome something on Greek & 'Celtic' re-enactment, if you're out there. Salvianus 09:35, 3 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Proposed renaming edit

I propose that this article be renamed to Classical antiquity reenactment, Classical period reenactment or Classical reenactment since that's what it actually deals with. "Ancient" in this context is so vague as to be meaningless. Compare Classical antiquity (dealing with the period of Greek and Roman dominance of their area) with Ancient history (everything from the first recorded history circa 3300 BC to the early Middle Ages).
