Quote:That's immense! Must be the largest Roman event anywhere!
And that's with the budget halved... :-| Nothing escapes the "XXI century chrisis"
Photos are always welcolme, we cannot see even the 10% of the event, and it's hard to find an accurate Roman digital camera to carry with us while "on duty" :lol:

Sadly, the late Romans were divided in two separate locations, but the number in each was still impressive.
I hope that you had time to see the other events, we were able to visit the I Germanica at the acueduct too, but that was all...

Over in the arena there were some truly memorable displays of skill and stamina from the Gladiators of Ars Dimicandi!
I missed you Iagoba, all you late Romans look alike!
Many of the events I wanted to see took place around the same time and at widely spaced venues. We found out the hard way that there is no bus back into the city from the Aqueduct but got back courtesy of a very kind couple who gave us a lift! However I think we managed to see a wide range of events in the five days we were there.
Sadly for RAT viewers, in spite of a Press badge, I was not allowed to take photographs at the 'Adults only ' event beneath the arches of the Hippodrome of the shy and retiring Roman prostitutes!
More pictures to follow.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
Hmmm , that sounds like censorship of the worst kind!! :roll:
