Welcome

Comitatus is Britain's leading Late Roman re-enactment group helping to set a new standard in historical authenticity. Putting on events across the North and down into the Midlands, the group is able to bring to an event a complete living history presentation demonstrating the life and skills of the Late Roman army, including infantry, cavalry, artillery, archery and everyday life.

About Us

Comitatus members present full living history interpretations from within an authentic tented encampment based on the craft skills of the legionaries and their families.

Rather than 'battle re-enactment', our field displays show authentic training based on manuals of the period, complete with Latin drill, missile competition, sharp weapons demonstration, combat sparring and, whenever possible, an opportunity for young members of the public to experience things first-hand.

The group is always expanding and taking on new and exciting aspects of Roman re-enactment.

Our members are dedicated enthusiasts who enjoy what they do and have a reputation for passing on this passion to the public! Members of the public frequently join us as members after seeing the displays, we are open to new recruits.
