Legio X Fretensis at the Scottish Highland Games

Salve, noti! (Salutations, friends!)

The Legion is on the march!

During the month of our fair emperor Augustus, on the Weekend of the Day of Labor, the Roman Army is dispatching Legio X Fretensis to the 2008 Scottish Highland Games at the Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton, California, August 30-31 (Saturday and Sunday).

We hope to see our friends and relations, to share fun, to educate the young and adults alike, and to create new bonds of amicitae (friendship). We know well the Caledonians are renown across all Terra as a brave, strong and warlike race. As Romans, we have that reputation in common! Yet both our peoples are more than this: hearty and curious, creative and gregarious, musical and wise. We share these qualities in common too.

Our strength respects their strength, and we respect the traditions of this wild and hearty people. Legio X is glad and honored to have been invited to this gathering of the clans.

Besides, we all love to eat, drink and enjoy life. Word has reached our barracks this will be quite a festivus (feast)!

Until our paths cross on the Via Vita (Road of Life), salve!

PETRVS PAVLVS
