Experiential Archaeology:

Weapons and Tactics

June  2 - June 29, 2013


          Our weapons and tactics aspect of our workshop revolves around the Dacian Wars and the battles between the Dacian and their allies against the Roman Imperial armies, their legions and auxiliary. At the same time as actually manufacturing them, participants will learn to use several of the weapons from these battlefields: the Roman gladius; the Dacian sica and falx; Sarmatian bows; battle slings; round, oval and square shields.
