 LIVE ROLEPLAYING-EVENTS

 

Procedite!
By Jørgen Bøckman
  • Nyteg, July 1997 (as The Roman Project)

    These pictures are from our first LARP appearance on the splendid LARP event "Nyteg" by "Lilla Gillet". Note that this was at an early stage in our history, and only the Decanii wore helmets. Also note that we do in fact not portray Romans as such.

  • Gränsen, July 1998 (as The Roman Project)

    Pictures from our first appearance as proper Romans - in our self-built fort. Gränsen also took place in Sweden, and was a LARP event based on the civil war period of 260 aD.

  •  
  • Ockupationen (The occupation), July 2000
    Ockupationen was another Swedish event, to which 13 of our legionarys went. Again, they did not portray Romans, as this was set in a medieval fantasy-world.
  • Amaranth III: Nemeth, juli 2001
    Amaranth took 15 of us to Moesia in AD 39. We portrayed romans in a "based on" historical setting.
