Re-Enactment Directory - Classical and Roman groups
Here at Clash of Steel, we strongly support the work of Re-enactors and Living History enthusiasts bringing life to history, learning what it might have been like to live as they did, and encouraging others to remember the past.
If you would like to suggest a group, send us the details. We'd love to hear about it.

Britain's largest late Roman living history group based in Yorkshire but putting on events across the country. They re-create the Roman army of Constantine including crafts and camp life. They also have a cavalry squadron - 'Taifali'- and artillery - a bolt-throwing balista.

The BATAVI are a small, friendly group who re-enact military and civilian life in the 4th to 6th centuries A.D. Our military activities are based around a late Roman army unit, the Batavi Iuniores Britanniciani, which arrived in Britain in 360 A.D. and returned in 367 A.D. They then formed part of the mobile field army and remained here at least until the end of Roman rule in Britain. There is a strong probability that parts of the unit may have stayed to defend Britain against the Saxon invaders, as part of the Romano-British forces into the 5th century. We also have a small late Roman Navy section and a civilian wing which displays everyday life, crafts and cookery from the period. We have members in the Midlands and South of the UK.
