century
AD, preferably 43 AD. We request each adult participant to provide $50 pre-registration ($60 at the gate) for the evening
meals, straw bedding, and firewood. Registration must be postmarked by March 1, 2010, to qualify for the pre-registration
rate.
Evening meals for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday will be provided by AD43 Staff.
Other food items are available from the local on site eatery. Roman military rations will be provided for soldiers
to prepare their morning meals on a daily basis.
The following are a few rules for the safety of participants.
1. NO DRUGS ARE ALLOWED, PERIOD!
2. Alcohol will be permitted, but there will be no alcohol given to or consumed by
minors (under age 21) at any time.
3. Campfires will be built only in authorized fire pits.
4. Campfires will have a “fire watch” at all times. NO UNATTENDED FIRES
WILL BE ALLOWED.
5. Both the Roman group and the Barbarian (German) group will have a leader.
These persons will be responsible for fire prevention and your safety. In an
emergency, please listen to them and be vigilant about the fire risk.
6. Upon arrival, please sign in and let the staff know if there are any medical
conditions or allergies which we need to know about (beestings, food allergies,
diabetes, etc.)
7. Small children left unattended will be sold as galley slaves; small children who
are supervised will be welcome to stay.
8. The owner of the land and the staff will not be held responsible for accidents,
injury, or lost items. Please be careful and obey the rules.
9. All fees will be paid, and waivers and registration forms will be signed at the front
gate before proceeding into the site.
10. All attendees will get dressed out before leaving the gate or crossing the bridge. A
dressing tent will be provided at the gate. (Note that all armor should be polished
and in good repair.)
11. This is an Ancient Reenactment event; participants should strive for authenticity.
You can pitch your modern tent near the parking area, talk your way into
someone’s period tent, or just pull up a warm sheepskin next to one of the
campfires.
12. Members of the Castra Lafe staff reserve the right to deny entry or have persons
removed from the property who are in violation of site rules or state or federal
laws.
13. Any infraction of the above rules could mean expulsion from the site.
14. Note the following.
• Temperature will typically be in the 40s to 50s during daylight. At night, it
will be colder hence the wool and warm skins (perhaps as cold as 30 degrees).
I personally would suggest three or four wool blankets. Woolen braccae (short
slacks), udones (socks), and wool sagum (cloak) or paenula (hooded cloak)
are VITAL clothing at night.
• Wood for fires will be provided (available at fort).
• A bathroom will be available on the modern side of the site.
• A shower house (up front by parking) is provided for the convenience of those
far away travelers. (Coffee pot hidden within.)
• Straw will be provided for bedding (if needed).
• Water will be available (bring your own containers, please).
• Germanic or Celtic re-enactors should contact the local clan leader for the
location of their campsite.
• Individual Cohorts and Legionnaires may make camp as terrain allows;
however, a turf wall and ditch fort has been constructed south west of the
local tribes. Fellow legions are invited to camp with ISPA legions in the fort.
We will post more information soon. Keep checking the yahoo groups website at
