Our Society...

Formed in the summer of 1987, initially as the Balkerne Gate Guard, the aim of the society was, and continues to be, research into and the recreation of equipment, training and lifestyles of the Roman military and civilians during the 1st and 2nd Centuries AD.

Originally taking the title LEG XIIII GEMINA, in 1997 the society decided to concentrate on auxiliary units and adopted the title:

COH I FIDA VARDULLORUM MILLIARIA EQ CR
(cohors I Fida Vardullorum civium Romanorum equitata milliaria)

more simply known as The Vardulli.

Finally, remember "Rome wasn't built in a day" and neither was this site, so remember to check back for future additions and enhancements
