BETHLEHEM SHOWS
       Thanks to everyone who came out for the Bethlehem Market Place and the Walk Through Bethlehem this year.  Particular thanks to Ron Kenat who was crazy enough to follow his Commander to two shows in one day!  We were well-received as always, and generally had a lot of fun.  Merry Christmas!

LUPERCALIA--from Richard and Allison Campbell
       It looks like the Legio XX Lupercalia celebration will fall on Saturday, February 19 this year. We are already planning for this at our house so we hope everyone in Legio XX will as well, as well as everyone interested in Legio XX.

FOR SALE
       Owen Hutchins is selling his lorica segmentata.  It was made by Joe Piella, and fits about a 50" chest. It has a little rust which he'll remove off prior to sale, and has been banged up a little, but is otherwise in good shape.  Asking price $350.  Contact him directly.
