		+	MARCHING THROUGH TIME
		+
		+	Richard Campbell is the Official Legio XX Contact for
		+	Marching Through Time this year, so let him know if
		+	you will be attending. April 14-15 is the date, and
		+	Marietta Mansion is the place. Several new folks are
		+	gearing up to participate, and all you veterans should
		+	haul out the lorica and check it for rust, eh? (Mind
		+	you, those of us in the BRONZE Age camp next door
		+	won't HAVE any rust, hee hee!) Anyone who is lacking
		+	equipment should sing out quickly, so that we can
		+	arrange for you to borrow what you need. More details
		+	will follow, but if you have questions, just ask!

		+
		+	LUPERCALIA!
		+
		+	The Legion's annual Lupercalia party will be on

		+	drink and merriment in keeping with the spirit and

		+	Jeopardy, and seductive entertainment! Roman and
		+	barbarian dress encouraged but not required, but NO

		+	MITHRACON, by Jane Sibley
		+
		+	Mithracon, an informal conference on cults and
		+	religion in the Roman Empire, will again be held in
		+	New Haven on Fri.-Sun. April 13-15; OK to come a day
		+	early so as to get two days in Yale's library system.
		+	Unfortunately, the Dura Europos mithraeum is still in
		+	the part of the art gallery which is being renovated,
		+	and is not available again this coming year. Please
		+	see our web site at http://www.mithracon.org for more
		+	information.
		+
		+
		+	MASSIVE ROMAN GEAR SELL OFF, From Jonathan Krieger
		+
		+	Dear Roman Reenactors,
		+
		+	I wanted to make you aware of a very limited and
		+	special sale. I have decided to reduce my stock in
		+	Roman gear. I have a VERY large stock of DEEPEEKA
		+	gear but recent issues have made it impossible for me
		+	to continue doing business the way I see fit so I am
		+	getting out. This is a plus for you. The prices you
		+	see below are without a doubt the best prices you will
		+	EVER see on Deepeeka gear. Once this stuff is gone my
		+	costs will double and so will my prices. Since the
		+	incentive to have a large stock has been eliminated, I
		+	want to get rid of it all. LUCKY YOU!!!!
		+
		+	All of the following items can be found at
		+
		+	http://www.Reenactorstuff. com
		+
		+	All auctions are Dutch so you can buy 1 or 20 of each
		+	item. Discounts for purchases of over 10 pieces of a
		+	single item. Here is the list:
		+
		+	--Pompeii Gladius By DEEPEEKA $80
		+	--Roman Pugio Dagger By DEEPEEKA $60
		+	--Roman Shield (Scutum) WOOD LINEN COVERED by
		+	DEEPEEKA $150
		+	--Roman Imperial Italic "D" Helmet By DEEPEEKA. This
		+	is the new hyper-accurate version $150
		+	--Roman Caligae Sandals Sizes 8,9,10,11,12, 13 $50
		+	--Roman Mainz Gladius By DEEPEEKA $80
		+	--Roman Helmet Imperial Gallic I - "Aquincum Type" $99
		+	--Lorica Segmentata By DEEPEEKA $150
		+
		+	[Editor's Note: Legio XX Members should double-check
		+	against the recommendations on the Legio XX website or
		+	with the Commander before purchasing anything for use
		+	at our events.]

		+
		+	ROMAN COIN SALE, by Dave Michaels
		+
		+	Avete, Romani!
		+
		+	Roman coins from the collection of F. Martin Post, a
		+	California gentleman who had been collecting for more
		+	than 40 years, are now being offered for sale through
		+	Freeman & Sear in Los Angeles, CA, with the proceeds
		+	going to benefit the Legion Six Historical Foundation,
		+	the parent organization of the Legio VI Victrix (CA)
		+	reenactment group. The coins can be view on the Vcoins
		+	website by following this link:
		+
		+	http://www.vcoins. com/ancient/ freemanandsear/
		+	store/dynamicInd ex.asp
		+
		+	...and entering Martin Post in the search field.
		+
		+	I can offer any RomanArmy [Yahoo] group member an
		+	additional 10% off the price of any coin purchased
		+	from the Vcoins site.
		+
		+	These are genuine coins, not replicas, provenanced to
		+	a reputable collection. There are many important
		+	pieces here, including a "Three Sisters" sestertius of
		+	Caligula and a rare gold solidus of Honorius. The
		+	donated coins range in price from $120 to $2,200.
		+
		+	Any coins that do not sell at fixed prices will be put
		+	into a Vcoins online auction in mid-February.
		+
		+	Thanks for your consideration, fraters and sorors!

NEWSLETTER OF THE TWENTIETH LEGION

Vol. XVII, no. i, January 2007

MARCHING THROUGH TIME

The application forms for Marching Through Time have
arrived in my mailbox, so I'll need to know who will
be attending. April 14-15 is the date, and Marietta
Mansion is the place. Several new folks are gearing
up to participate, and all you veterans should haul
out the lorica and check it for rust, eh? (Mind you,
those of us in the BRONZE Age camp next door won't
HAVE any rust, hee hee!) Anyone who is lacking
equipment should sing out quickly, so that we can
arrange for you to borrow what you need. More details
will follow, but if you have questions, just ask!

LUPERCALIA!

The Legion's annual Lupercalia party will be on
February 24, from 5 PM until the gods of Rome are

drink and merriment in keeping with the spirit and

Directions:
Caution! For anyone on the Beltway, construction at
the Route 1 exits (#177) may change at a moments
notice!

--From DC: get onto the GW Parkway going south. In
Alexandria this becomes Washington Street, so go
through Alexandria and follow directions as below.
From Alexandria: from south Washington Street: go
south on the George Washington Parkway just over six
miles until you see Vernon View Drive on your right.
Turn right, go about 1/4 mile to Battery Road; turn
right, go 100 yards, and turn left on Camfield Drive.
Go about 1/4 mile to 8820, on the left.

directions as above.

BOARD

We don't usually see much Administrative stuff in
these hollowed pages, so here's something new!
Richard Campbell and Deb Fuller have been appointed to
the Legio XX Board of Directors, in punishment for
their years of dedication and hard work (such as
running Roman Days). Tom Kolb, co-Founding Father,
has begged to resign from the Board, and we have
reluctantly agreed to release him from bondage. (I
don't *think* this will come as too much of a surprise
to Greg Fabic, our other Board Member--I'm sure I
talked to him about this a few months ago!) Yours
Truly, of course, is also still on the Board. Many
thanks to all for their service, past and future.

MORE DISTANT EVENTS

From Rusty Myers, Legio VI Ferrata:
Pompeii Dies Pro Vesuvius: Pompeii, the Day Before
Vesuvius
February 2-4, Mobile, Alabama
http://legvi.tripod.com/pompeiidiesprovesuvius/
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pompeiireborn/

We have been contacted by the Exploreum Museum
(www.exploreum.net) regarding hosting an event
February 2-4, 2007, in conjunction with the US Premier
of the Pompeii Exhibit opening at the Museum in
Mobile, Alabama.
Essentially this would be a Friday, Saturday, Sunday
event, so we would look to a Late Thursday/early
Friday arrival time. The museum is looking at
assisting re-enactors with reimbursement for travel,
very low hotel rates for those who need to hotel
($55-$75 at a brand new Renaissance Marriot which is
re-opening in conjunction with the Pompeii Exhibit).
A feast Saturday evening, and most importantly:
Free admission to actually see the Pompeii Exhibit
(perhaps with a private guide). This exhibit will be
touring the US in 2007 and I believe will only be at
about 4 locations nationwide, so that is a unique
opportunity! The event would be hosted at the USS
Alabama State Park (www.ussalabama.com) which also has
a number of attractions many of us would find
interesting. We will be able to stay onsite, camp,
and cook. Think of it as Nashville, with a Battleship,
and events for the re-enactors, plus a chance to see
the Pompeii Exhibit.
Basically I need to know how many folks are
interested! Pretty much any Roman impression will be
welcome, as we will be taking the Castra Romana
Marketplace and plan to have a large soldiers camp, a
market, and other Roman related events. Soldiers?
Civilians? Senators? Vendors? I do not need a
commitment now, just rough numbers for planning.
Please shoot me an email atjustuslonginus@aol.com with
numbers or ideas.

--Tim Gallagher is investigating the possibility of
renting a bus for the trip to Mobile. It will cost
about $100 per person round trip. The bus will leave
from Frederick, Maryland EARLY on Friday, Feb. 2, and
will return on Sunday the 4th.
Presumably Tim needs a certain number of people to
commit to this for the deal to go through. If you are
interested in getting in on this, contact him
directly:
spqr753 AT msn DOT com, or call 301-831-3994.
This is just transport, mind you, though you should
be able to pack along all your weapons and gear
without trouble. Tim says that hotels in Mobile run as
cheap as $40 per night, but they are filling up fast.
Note that folks from farther afield would have to
travel to Frederick to catch the bus.
