The image captures a historical reenactment in Gigen, Bulgaria
MomentThe image captures a historical reenactment in Gigen, Bulgaria. A formation of individuals, costumed as Roman soldiers, stands in a dry, light brown grassy field under a clear blue sky. The central focus is a testudo formation comprising numerous overlapping, reddish-brown rectangular scuta, each adorned with gold-colored winged motifs and a prominent central metal boss. Some shields are held vertically, while others are positioned horizontally above the participants. Roman soldiers in lorica segmentata and helmets are visible behind and within the shield wall. On the far right, two fully armored soldiers, one with a red-plumed helmet, stand upright; the latter holds a gladius. Several red vexilla (military standards) on poles are visible above the formation on the right. In the far left background, a white banner displaying Cyrillic text, including 'АУГУСТА МЕЗИЯ,' is partially visible among a group of spectators. A distant line of green trees marks the horizon.
