Welcome and
Greetings! Fectiois a Dutch Late Roman Re-enactment
Society. We focus on the military part of Late
Roman society during the 4th to 5th century. Our
area is the Western Empire, especially in the
Lower German and British provinces. The name Fectio
is taken from the Limes fortress on the Dutch
Lower Rhine frontier, today know as Vechten. Our
unit is know as the Fectienses Seniores,
belonging to the army class of the Pseudo-Comitatenses.(More...)
