Just for you, Michaela! We deleted the re-enactment gallery due to lack of interest. You always put on a great show and your combat is so much better than that of any other group that I have seen. Good also to see women fighting as women and not as pseudo-men as in other groups.

The Silures are the ones the Roman historian Tacitus thought originated from Spain. Amazing, considering DNA studies now believe the same thing!
