Britannia brought the 5th Century to life at Caerleon. The amphitheatre rang to the sounds of sword and axe on shield for a battle between Romano-British and Saxon invader! All the while being filmed by live feed to the Caerleon Museum website.

wow, wonderful shield paintings. Seems like a nice event a you doing nice paint jobs. I like it when artisians are working on events, and really show their trade instead of only presenting the finished items. Well done.

The client wanted a post-Roman concept of Arthur, so we gave them what they wanted!

They did their own show with the audience's kids... it was brilliant, the crowd loved it too!

Any cavalry at that preformance? That would have been a real topper for a Sub-roman/Arthurian themed event.

Sadly no. The arena was a little confined for cavalry, ok for a cavalry only display I guess, but too confined for infantry/cavalry - not only that, the arena turf is very archaeologically sensitive, that's why no tents were erected in there I don't know what policy is on cavalry in it, but one can imagine their reaction if it was covered in deep hoof marks, especially as the last half of day 2 got a bit soaked by a shower!

I'm still having nightmares about that last kiddies' drill session :?

This was a lovely show to be involved in, making my debut as an archer. Fantastic location, comparable to sites I've visited in France.
We visited the Roman Army Museum in kit between performances, and in viewing aerial photographs there I was only then able to appreciate the enormity of the original site. Really looking forward to the next time we get to 'play' there

Who said it had to be in the arena? Just a suggestion but why not do it out in a field? As far as I know Britannia has fielded five cavalrymen before, all equiped properly. And why not invite the Comitatus cavalry along? With your guy playing Artorius at their head the unit will number thirteen, Arthur and his twelve knights! :lol: For fun why not invite a bunch of Saxon reenactors, go to Solisbury hill out by Bath, and have your own Badon.
