Yahoo Site
Legio VI Victrix has its own email list and
club site at Yahoo
Groups called

track of upcoming events not otherwise posted on the website.
We'd once again like
to acknowledge the pioneering work of Matthew Amt of Legio XX Valeria Victrix
in Maryland. His page of Links on the Legio XX site, which can be accessed
HERE, is simply the best
compilation of Roman military-related internet links to be found anywhere.

Quintus Florentius Agrippa
(aka Jared Fleury), one of our members, has built an excellent, award-winning website detailing
the creation and progress of his own second century A.D. legionary impression,
which can be reached
