On the 11th and 12th of July 2015, a team of four Hetairoi attended a re-enactment event at the Château de Châteaubriant in the French department Loire-Atlantique.
The events topic was the evolution of the soldier in antiquity from the age of Hellenism - as presented by Hetairoi e.V. - until the decline of the Western Roman Empire. With the Hetairoi´s impressions of a Peltast, Thureophoros, Hypaspist and the Pezhetairoi the types of infantry within the armies of Alexander the great and his successors could be presented at the event.
Despite the long journey (more than 10 hours by car) this event with highly interested visitors, new contacts to French reenactors and of course the wonderful hospitality of our hosts was a great experience for all participating Hetairoi.
