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...)
