Historical reenactment, also known as Living History, was born on the basis of ever-increasing documentation. It has become a recognized aid to historical and archaeological study. Living History allows us to better understand the daily lives of ancient times. By reliving the same conditions, with the same costumes, and the same weapons as those who wore them. The members of the Roman army, during the era of its undisputed domination of the world, which lasted three centuries, were equipped with very different weapons. Legionaries and auxiliaries possessed an extremely varied array of weapons and costumes that constantly evolved over time. Far from the images of historical epics or comics, the combatants of the only army that controlled all parts of the Mediterranean rim are revealed in their effectiveness and variety.
