Hi there,

For the dutch Archeon theme park in Alphen ad. Rijn I will do some blacksmithing demos and like to build a good looking Roman field forge.

I also have to impersonate a Roman military blacksmith, and I like to know how they looked like....

What tools did they use, what anvil, clothes, etc, etc...

Any input is welcome...
(pictures, pictures)

I posted this question also on the Romanarmy website, but I need as much input as possible, I've only a month or so to set up my forge...

thanks.
