When I was in Rome a couple of years ago, I saw people outside the Coloseum that dress up like Roman Legionnaires and pose for a fee with tourists. Since then, I have seen a number of pictures that catch them in poses that would not be characteristic of the era they are trying to portray. Here is an example:

Can anyone point me to more pictures of these people that capture these "un-Roman moments"?

  1. I got one.  Got ripped off too, they didnt want to give me my camera when I wouldnt pay and made me give them 10 euro for it back.  The picture has me and my friends in it with a soldier who has a sword at my crotch lol.  If you want the picture Id feel glad to give it to you.  Take it off my website, www.geocities.com/shanekershner

    go to the eurotrip part its right in the front.  

    Most of those soldiers are ex inmates as well.  The bums.  Best ANSWER!
