Medusa Posted June 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 This is not a gig actually but we had been filmed by a local TV crew and the thing was broadcasted at the end of April on NDR (North-German Television). Now our webmaster uploaded this film to our website and those of you who understand German could follow this link to watch it: http://www.ludus-nemesis.eu/galerie5.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aber das ist geschichtlig gar nicht richtig. Gladiators in the Circus Maximus ? Well, if Asterix says so. Very nice video, Medusa, thanks !

Ursus Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Sadly we have no Gladiatrix reenactors in the states that I am aware of. I would find that very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formosus Viriustus Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Reading Tacitus I came across a type of gladiator I had never heard of before : the 'Crupellarii'. They were Gallic gladiators who wore full body armour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medusa Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Indeed the crupellarius is mentioned only once literally. And then there is a little statuette found in France, dating from 1st century AD which is supposedly a crupellarius. Yes, I know that this Hungarian group is having a crupellarius in their program cause I've seen their performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formosus Viriustus Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Since they are mentioned nowhere else, could they have been a local, typically Gallic variant ? Formosus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
