After a long time of research and development I'm proud to present Societas Equitum Romanorum, a Roman cavalry group based in The Netherlands.
With this group we have the intention of interactively depicting the history of the Roman cavalry in the Netherlands.
The main representation that has been chosen is the Ala Afrorum Veterana, a unit that was founded in Africa Proconsularis and in the first half of the 1st
century AD moved to Europe to Moesia and Burginatum.
As a secondary representation we have chosen for the Speculatores and the Equites Singulares, the emperors mounted bodyguards.
The group takes the time needed to achieve the highest possible quality of reconstructions.
The collecting and making of all the necessary materials takes a lot of time and in
addition, it is important to get a lot of experience and to train the horses in the best way
possible so we can give shows and presentations in the safest and best way. Therefore, the
group is not yet active for events.
When the very extensive list of materials is complete, an active training period with the equipment on horsesback will follow. Only when riders and horses
are well trained and attuned, the group can be presented in a safe way both for the general public and for the rider as for the horses.
