Hello again,
I’m rather sad and confused because Anthrax, one of the leading gladiators of the Familia Gladiatoria was drowned in an accident while swimming in Italy last Monday. They shall perform with us as scheduled but their mood (and ours) will not be the same…
But he show must go on and I had planned to post here the timetable for our Ludi Veleienses MMV!
All along this week, from 18.00 to 20.00, at the Boulevard mall (Vitoria) we are running a workshop for children, where they can paint their own late Roman military tunics, shields and spears or to learn how Roman children played. Simultaneously, members of Roma Antiqua and Cohors I Gallica will show and explain to the public reconstructions of Roman surgical instruments.
On Friday the 9th, at 19.00, to close our display at the Boulevard mall, the groups will march fully equipped for the public to see them and the gladiators of the Familia Gladiatoria will perform a pair of combats.
On Saturday the 10th the Ludi Veleienses will properly begin.
Morning session (in Spanish)
11.00 Pompa. The re-enactors will march into the arena and greet the public.
11.20 The Roman army through history. Evolution of the Roman army from the Republic to the Dominate as shown by the military equipment. Performed by Legio I Germanica and Roma antique. Simultaneously children will be instructed in the basic drills of the late Roman army.
12.00 Munera. Explanation of gladiatorial types and fights by the Familia Gladiatoria Pannonica.
12.30 Killing from distance. Missiles of several kinds will be hurled by hand, sling, bow and torsion catapults. Cohors I Gallica and Roma Antiqua
13.15 Pompeia Valentina’s domus. The family of Pompeia Valentina will show their house. Cohors I Gallica and Arkiz Society.
13.45 Legio expedita. Cohors I Gallica, Septimani Seniores and late soldiers from Roman Antiqua and Legio I Germanica will perform basic late Roman manoeuvres alongside with the newly ‘trained’ children.
14.15 Munera. Second block of fights by the Familia Gladiatoria.
Evening session (in Basque)
17.00 Pompa.
17.20 The Roman army through history.
18.00 Munera.
18.30 Killing from distance.
19.15 Pompeia Valentina’s domus.
19.45 Legio expedita.

On Sunday the 11th, there will be only the morning session, in Spanish, with the same programme as on Saturday.
All of you will be welcome!!

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
