Centurio's Convivia
Join us for the BEST Roman Feast Experience in America!
The highlight of the event
for Re-enactors is the Centurio's Convivium. Hosted by Justus Longinus, the Lady Flavia, and
Soul of the Warrior in the 'Feast Hall Tent", the event features numerous Roman foods that are sure to fill up the largest
appetite (and we always have lefteovers Sunday morning!). Prepared by Michelle Stewart of Leg XI (and a number of assistants),
we feast aound the triclinum in the 20*40 foot feast hall.
The Hall is decorated by Quintus Valorous, the Signifir of Leg VI (Paul Allen) in
grand Roman style. To walk in the tent is to enter a movie set! Pillows and blankets spread the atmosphere as
we feast on the twelve inch tall tables. Bring your appetite and a pillow or two, as we always run out... Fruits of
the vine are shared by all, though moderation is the watchword (generally we eat so much this is not an issue anyway!)
There is no direct cost for the food, Soul of the Warrior
pays for it as a thank you to all our frineds and family. There is a $5 donation per person for the chef (trust me...
she MORE than earns it!)
The Feast was the site of a 2005 Wedding, and a 2007 Engagement... Who knows what
could happen this year??? One thing for certain, you will NOT leave hungry!!
