We welcome Roman units and individuals to fight with us on a temporary basis at larger battles. The more the merrier. Rome is already a viable army, even by SCA standards. At Pennsic XXIX, for instance, we invited lone fighters with Roman personas to fight in our ranks. If you have a Roman persona or equipment, consider yourself invited to fight under the Eagles among our iron-clad ranks as an associate.
Associates are confederates, and our arrangement is informal.
Our mutual interest in Rome is all that binds us. Associates do not necessarily owe us allegiance. Associates have no binding commitment to Rome, nor are they required to obey Rome s Laws off the field. We only require that they adhere to our standards of honor and sportsmanship while fighting in our ranks. An associate is essentially an unofficial auxiliary.
