Wacht am Rhein...

Here we present some pictures from a patrol in the Venedian Forests by Contvbernivm Tvbvli of Legio XXI Rapax.
The patrol took place this autumn in Germanic (Masovian) forests near Rhenvs flumen (the Bug River).

Aqvila Legionis

The Eagle of the XXIst

To find an eagle statue worth the name of aquila legionis is not an easy task at all. 

Actually there are a lot of casted eagles on Internet auctions but most of them do not match expectations of a true Roman reenactor. 

One has to consider the historical impresions, shape, pose, dimension, weight, material, general aesthetics and of course - costs. So not only a historical accuracy but also a personal taste and money can interfere with one's particular choice.

Legions vs Barbarians

The Battle of Nova Slvpia filmed during the 50th Dymarki Świętokrzyskie Festival 2016 AD. Legio XXI fought bravely and finally won :) Enjoy watching!

Panthera Tigris

Not long ago, we acquired our own aqvila legionis - an eagle, the most important sign, standard or emblem of every Roman legion (we'll write sth about it in one of our next posts).
