BONONIA, Gallia Belgica July 2007, 21-22 Historical camp	The historical camp is organized since 10 years in Boulogne-sur-mer (Pas-de-Calais, France) in front of England, in the same places where Napoleon settled his famous "Camp de Boulogne". This year, the "Association Napoléonienne du Boulonnais" has opened this event to Roman and Medieval reenactment groups.
Grand Army battery	Near the Napoleon restored "Powder magazine", the battery will fire. Mind your ears !
Napoleon mounted troops	Friendly talk before fighting: "Happily, this night rain has stopped!"
Legio VIII Augusta still there!	Legio VIII lining up. Behind, new low rent houses.
Legio XXII Pr. Bagacensis centurio come to plan	René Cubaynes listening to collega Bagacensis's proposals. Behind, the blue Legio XXII Bagacensis shields.
The optiones put the last hand	The serious guys now speak of serious things.
Legio XII testudo	Not so bad, milites!
In front the sea, both legions lining	And when you are ready, let us invading Britannia, guys ! True, Britannia (35 kms far across what Briton barbarians still call the 'English Channel', may be seen clearly when the weather is beautiful. And when it is very clear, you can see the cars on Dover seaside. Unhappily, it is right and outside the picture!
The crowd in Legio VIII camp	People, including Quirites members, pressing for information from Leg. VIII staff. People from Boulogne and tourits have really been surprised by the Roman exhibition quality.
