Arms and Armor Up Close: Legion III Cyrenaica

Celebrate the opening of our Arms and Armor Galleries with weekly reenactments, demonstrations, and interactive displays!

Legion III Cyrenaica is a Roman living history organization with membership throughout the New England region. The group researches, reconstructs, and presents this historical Legion as it may have appeared in Egypt and later in Syria during the Roman Empire (covering 40–400 CE). The Legion functioned primarily as military police, based outside Alexandria and manning road stations and watchtowers along the trade roads in the Koptos region.

While the main focus of the group is on the arms, armor, and military functions of the Roman Legion, the group also features non-citizen Auxiliary and non-military/civilian aspects.

Program subject to change.
