Salvete,

This exhibition promises to be interesting:

It does sound interesting!

"A troop (turma) of 30 Roman cavalrymen will come together to perform training exercises described by Hadrian himself 2,000 years ago."

I wonder if they'll be shooting arrows from horseback using 'machines'?

Interesting. As a rider, I wonder who is coordinating this.

It has been mentioned in several threads on RAT before. The post of events coordinator (for the re-enactment part) has just been advertised.

Many thanks, Mike. I'm relatively new here, but did do a search and couldn't find an answer to my question before I posted...

As I understand it, once the events organiser is in place things will start to happen. They will presumably review all of the options (using re-enactors, professional riders/stunt men etc) before coming to a decision, but that's just my take on it.

Hi

A photo from the Hadrian's Wall Trust of the leading riders in the two teams that will take part in the cavalry sports event at Carlisle.

Looking forward to this event - will be travelling down from Glasgow on the Sunday for it!

Hello to everyone !

I will attend the "Turma Event" in Carlisle (1-2 July).

Who, from RAT community, will attend the event ?
Do we make an appointment ?

arrivederci,
Emilio

Well I am going - probably on a Sunday and will be driving down from Glasgow early in the morning.
