Legio XXI Rapax
Legio XXI Rapax is a realization of our passion for ancient Roman military, but also a good fun. Nevertheless we try to share our knowledge and experience from taking part in major ancient reenactment festivals throughout Europe (i.e. in Rome, Nijmegen, Xanten, Kalkriese, Rankweil, Velzeke, Koblenz or Nowa Slupia), living history lessons in schools, lectures at universities, collaboration with museums, making movies, adverts, music videos, photo sessions or publishing projects.
We can take part in organization of reenactment events, advise on them or consult on a matter of historical correctness.
For those organizing reenactment events we offer shows of Roman legion’s camp life, legionary’s outfit & equipment, drill and fighting techniques, battles with other legionary or barbarian groups, slave market, gladiatorial shows etc., in some of which spectators can actively take part to get a direct experience.
We develop bonds and exchange knowledge with other Roman reenacting groups and cooperate with universities,schools, museums and specialist media preparing various educational projects for kids, the youth and adults.
We conduct experimental archeology projects, i.e. organizing marching and camping expeditions in forests, winter camps and others, to which we invite bold enough volunteers.
We take part in different film, photo, theatrical or publishing undertaking. We have experience in advertising projects and team-building events.
We rent historical equipment of Roman legionaries, Roman civilian dresses etc.
We’re open for any challenges, ideas and proposals. Try us!
