Looking for a game at the Hutt Club - posted by Wayne Watts, 26 February 2023

Looking for a 450AP game on 11th March.
I'm hoping to do a trial outing with the restored Navarrese to see how they perform in MMver2. As they are a possible ValleyCon entry (if they behave) I'd like to engage someone not in ValleyCon Group 3 if possible.

Tombstone of a Thracian auxiliary cavalryman - shared by John Dods, 24 February 2023

 
Tombstone of a Thracian Auxiliary Cavalryman by the name of Longinus Sdapeze, dated around 60 CE , Colchester Castle Museum, Camulodunum (Roman Colchester).
Here is Longinus Sdapeze, a junior officer in a cavalry regiment.
He is wearing (lorica squamata) a leather tunic with diamond-shaped plates of metal swen on. Longinus carried a spear in his right hand, but the spear is now missing.
Longinus died between CE 43-49 while the Roman Army was stationed in Colchester.

Thrace was one of the very biggest recruiting areas for auxiliaries. After their service (20 or 25 years depending on the period) they became citizens and many of their sons became Praetorians.
