More photos of Ars Diminicandi in action can be found here.
The Ermine Street Guard need no introduction and they are celebrating their 40th anniversary as the 2nd Augustus Legion by parading at Caerleon where the Legion was historically based.
They demonstrated Roman military equipment, training for both foot and cavalry, legion formations and Roman artillery which was really impressive with shot hurtling out of the arena into the fields beyond!
Great day out, the Guard are fantastic and more photos of them can be found here.
Some great pics. weather look like it was rather good as well.
ReplyDeleteI was somewhat peeved with the other clan members this morning for not getting out of bed as the weather forecast was for light rain in the afternoon, but their shoddiness worked in our favour as it rained in the morning and was sunny in the afternoon! :-)
DeleteI used to love going to events like these when we lived in the UK - Portchester Castle used to hold several types each year.
ReplyDeleteVery cool. Thanks for sharing.
