TARRACO VIVA 2008
#1
Hello,

A preliminar program of the event is yet in that web:

www.tarracoviva.com

Is not in english, by the moment.

The principal atraction of that year is a macro-sized gladiatorial games, with the depiction of a ceremony in Apollo's honour.

And, of course, LEGIO PRIMA GERMANICA participation: we'll reenact an statio, the building sited for the control of the roads and refresh of the horses of cursus publicus (a kind of pony express postal service).

Dates: 23, 24 and 25 of may.

All the RAT members are wellcome!

Hmpf! :x

I´ll miss it (having to patrol the Rhine ...in some way...).

So yell iugiula twice for me! :twisted:
The troopers always want more blood... :lol:

Enjoy, the ones who can :wink: a 10 years old event, it´s unexpected to be in so good health! Big Grin

And this year seems to be greater than ever! Confusedhock:

Even if you don´t know Catalonian (or Spanish, or Latin :lol: ), click over the scrolls picture, in the words "programa avanç."

You´ll be able to understand such words as Timetrotter, and other groups´names :wink:

Well, someone has to patrol along the Rhine while the rest of the Cohort is at Tarraco, Iagoba. Enjoy it! Tongue

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.

Less than a week left Confusedhock:

Susanna, will your group be lodged at the Ciutat del Repos (a really nice play to stay, no kidding 8) ) or have you managed to grab a more luxurious lodging from the organizers? Tongue

I ask about that, because my group performs at an outpost. A magnificent domed Late Roman building with one of the few surviving Roman dome mosaics on it, Cencelles. The problem is that it is rather far from the city and we have diffiuculties to meet the other groups' people except at the huge dining room. Sad

It's the same. Ciutat del repos (resting village) is located in carretera de boscos de Taragona (Tarragona's wooden road) Big Grin

So you are in the same lodging site.

No problem for the equipment, Iagoba. 8)
What do you prefer, the stag suit or the bunny one (I must prevent you that the rabbit will be stabbed through, while the stag won't...) :lol:

We're going to make a totally civilian display on Late Roman hunting this year at Tarraco Viva. Big Grin

Leaving in a few hours... Confusedhock:
The weather forecast is rather unpromising. It seems that British weather has reached the Mediterranean this year... Sad
