Legio XXX is a non-profit re-enactment group from southern Ontario & the north-eastern USA. It was established in 2004 with the goal of portraying all aspects of Roman military & civilian life. - It's members represent a cross between living history enthusiasts and "edutainers" that recreate the lives of soldiers found in Trajan's leagions during the 1st - 2nd Century AD. + It's members represent a cross between living history enthusiasts and "edu-tainers" that recreate the lives of soldiers found in Trajan's legions during the 1st - 2nd Century AD. Over the years, they have participated in a wide range of events.
Legio XXX has a re-enactment facility near Tillsonburg Ontario, graciously provided by Tom Ross. Over the years, the group has constructed it's own castrum (fort) nestled amidst farmland and forest.
The castrum (fort) was slowly constructed over several years & is a work in progress:
David Blain - Commanding Officer & subject matter expert, providing much of this site's content

+Robert Sacco - President of Legio XXX (portrays our aquilifer (Eagle bearer)
+David Blain - Subject matter expert, providing much of this site's content (portrays our tribunus angusticlavius (executive officer))
+Tom Ross - Legio XXX's patronus (patron) providing re-enactment facilities near Tillsonburg Ontario
Robert Norton - Armicustos (Quartermaster) & provider of most of our manuals
- Each spring, as the weather improved, the campaign season would began. Roman troops would redeploy from a perminant castra hiberna (winter camp) to fair weather camps on the frontier known as castra aestiva (summer camps). - These marching camps could be errected in hours while under attack using the division of labour and would be completely disassembled when the legion left so they couldn't be used by the enemy. + Each spring, as the weather improved, the campaign season would began.

+ Janus is the double-faced god of archways, entrenches, passages, time, the beginning & the end. The Romans + named January in his honor & was one of the 12 principal deities of Religio Romana (Roman Religion). + Janus was unique to Latium (centeral western Italy), predating the Romans & had no Greek counterpart. +
++ Janus had his ceremonies carried out by the Rex Sacrorum (King of the Sacred) instead of + dedicated flamens (priests) like the other deities. The shrine Janus Geminus was + dedicated to him which had giant double doors which would be closed in times of peace and left open during times + of war. The Roman historian Titus Livius would recount the doors being closed only twice + between the time of Numa Pompilius (7th century BC) and Augustus (1st century BC). +
++ For the first time, Legio XXX will be hosting an Agonium near Tillsonburg Ontario (Thank you Tom Ross). + It's a private single day event where we try not to freeze. If winter camping isn't your thing, consider + coming to Castra Aestiva in May or Castra Hiberna in September. +
+Come, participate and enjoy the camaraderie only the field of Mars can forge.
+In the fall, the indigenous people had to focus their efforts on harvesting crops & preparing for the cold harsh winter. This left little time for raids & hostilities giving Roman soldiers time to rest, train & recoupe.
