Very nice blog post. I recognise many of the colour pictures you have used but can I ask where you found the picture of the Roman Marine and the three chaps eating a meal "somewhere in Germany" as I don't think I have seen these ones before?
I too will be visiting Partizan tomorrow but sadly not in search of anything Roman. I think there is a big 28mm "3rd Century Crisis" game there whihc I will be checking out.
