LEGIONARY OF THE MONTH - IULIUS MMXI

Salvete Milites,

The candidate for the Legionary of the Month award of the past month from the Centuriones has been approved by the Tribuni.

The LOTM Phalera goes to:



Praefectus Praetorio Achilles Claudius Baculum (achille.back).

I'm very honored of having been chosen for this award, that goes to all the Tribuni also. Our only target is to serve the XIII and ROMA SPQR at best. I'm sure that the troops are working hard with us for supporting our great group. Keep on like that!

ROMA EQUIRRIA'S NAUMACHIA

On Sunday, the 20th of February, ROMA Maritima hosted the Legion's classis Naumachia (a sea battle).

The battle has been fought by the Green Team, 2 ships captained by Centurio Hastatus Petrus Cornelius and Optio Ragark TIberius Iulius, and the Blue Team, 2 ships captained by Centurio Princeps Achilles Claudius and Centurio Amazona Nina Tiberia.

After many issued and risks such as loosing a ship, the Blue Team sinked all of the two Green ships and won the sea battle.

The following members of the Blue Team have been awarded with the Phalera Miles Extraordinarius (Winner of a ROMA event):

Centurio Princeps Achilles Claudius
Centurio Amazona Nina Tiberia
Optio Amazona Melanippe
Miles Ferox Jale Albatros
Miles Ferox Darkus (dragonofnight)

For his special efforts in re-organizing the new Classis of the ROMA SPQR LEGIO XIII GEMINA, getting the new ships, building the new harbor, teaching the classiarii and his dedication to the whole Legio, the Centuriones in behalf of the Praefectus Castrorum Vectus Margulis are proud to award Optio Ferox Ragark Tiberius Iulius with the CORONA NAVALIS (the maximal award for sea actions).

CONGRATULATIONS!!

PHARSALUS TRAINING

Waiting for the Pharsalus battle reenactment, last training (19 sept 2010) was mainly based on the practice for that event.

Here are a few pictures of the training:

The two teams are positionating (G.Iulius Caesar's team on the top, Pompeus Magnus' team on the bottom of the picture)

Infantries are meeting on the battlefield while cavalries fight on the background (Caesar's cavalry supported by a reserve of infantry)

ARCHERY CONTEST, A SUCCESS!

Sunday the 22nd, at Ludi Plebeii of ROMA SPQR, our legion organized a demo/contest of archery for the citizens of ROMA.

Even when just a few civilians came to watch or to try, many milites and auxilia took the chance to show up their archery skills.

I wish to say that the whole milites did very well but, obviously, the winner of a contest can only be one, and this time the medal (and the Miles Extraordinarius RAS badge) went to:

Decurio Petrus Cornelius Silvanus (Peter Woody)

CONGRATULATIONS!
