Over een week of drie hebben de media weer de jaarlijkse flauwekul over de zo niet satanische dan toch heidense achtergrond van #Halloween. Een hopelijk ultieme doch denkelijk vergeefse poging tot #prebunking. mainzerbeobachter.com/2024/10/08/p...

Prebunking: Halloween - Mainzer Beobachter

Hoewel het nauwelijks meer als zodanig te herkennen is, heeft het Halloweenfeest zowel christelijke als Keltische wortels.

Going to die on that hill, but not every ancient #theatre#Amphitheatre. 🤷‍♂️🏺

The helmet on front is a model without decoration. But you see in the background one crest of another helmet elaborately decorated. But good question, what happened to the gladiators. Could they all escape this natural catastrophy?

A #Roman gladiatorial helmet. In 1766 it was found in the gladiator barracks at #Pompeii where it had lain since the eruption of #Vesuvius in AD 79 (I hope the gladiator(s) who once wore it managed to get away from the disaster in time!) AncientBlueSky #Archaeology

Five years ago I published this article about gladiators as soldiers in Ancient Warfare Vol. XIII Issue 1. On this topic more is to come. #gladiators#independentresearcher#ancientrome#ancientwarfare

Some more pics of kids training at LRE XV. Not only boys participated but also girls, actually more girls than boys 😃 Photos made with Francis' camera #romanreenactment#romanreenactors#gladiatortraining#gladiator#gladiatrix#gladiators#gladiatoren#lrexv

Giving basic gladiatorial training to the kids at Late Roman Event XV. When there is no palus around, substitute it with a hasta. 😃 Photo by Insta account @varianvs.official #romanreenactment#romanreenactors#gladiator#gladiators#gladiatoren#gladiatortraining#lrexv#lateromanevent

Part 1/2: Herewith my last post about the exhibition "Göttinnen & Gattinnen". It is accompanied by an interesting catalog which is available in German only. For those who can read German I show you here the contents of this book.
