I Conference about Segovia's Historical Recovery and Tourist. (2)

¡AVE!

Like we have talked to you, the last 18th of December we attend to the I Conference about Segovia's Historical Recovery and Tourist.

First of all, we visit the new Exhibition Place dedicated to the Jewish quarter of Segovia.

This Exhibition Place is located in the ancient house of the Jew ABRAHAM SENNEOR, who was Chancellor of the Exchequer for the Catholics Kings of Spain (Isabel y Fernando).

We highly recommend this visit. So if you go to Segovia and you have left some time after visiting the Acueducto and the Alcazar, we encouage you to go there.

The Exhibition Place dedicated to the Jewish quarter of Segovia has been thought in a way to be didactic, interesting and amused. All of this is possible, because all the new tecnologie that they allow us to use in order to learn many things about the Jewish culture and heritage, tactile screens, virtual books and many others cool things. The vitual synagogue is really curious and allow you to learn about the Shabat Celebration.

After that, we went to the Academy of History of Segovia, that is located in the ancient church of San Quirce. There we could attend to three interesting conferences.

The first conference was “Segovia and the Aqueduct” and was imparted by D. Aurelio Ramírez – Dr. Ingeniero de Canales.

The second conference was “Aqueducts and Roman Hydraulic" and was imparted by Inmaculada Teixell - Arqueóloga del Excmo. Ayuntamiento de Ayuntamiento de Tarragona.

The third conference was about the Roman Village discovered in Valladolid and the museum that has been created around it and eas imparted by Margarita Sánchez Simón - Arqueóloga del Museo de las Villas Romanas de Almenara de Adaja-Puras. Diputación de Valladolid.

It was a shame that we couldn't stay there for the afternoon's conferences, but the weather was very bad, and we choose to went to Segovia by train using the AVE's and this limited us our time in Segovia.

Thank you to everybody.

Visit to the Archaeological Site of Vega Baja in Toledo (Spain)

¡AVE!


In the 17th of October we were in the Second Opening Day of the Archaeological Site of Vega Baja in Toledo (Spain).

It was a really interesting experience, because the archaeologists that are working in the site are the ones that show you the site too. The explanation took one hour but in any moment was boring of to difficulty to understand, even for people like us that we don't have too much knowledge for the arqueological tecniques.

The site is quite big, an there is too much work to do for many years, but even in this moment you can appreciate its importance, because the "Códices" talk us that Toledo was the capital of visigodos reing, but until now, no one could discover any important visigodos traces in Toledo. For this reason this site will provide the confirmation.

From Ludus Gladiatorium Vulcanum, we encourage you to continue with this job, an many other that we know are being doing out of Toledo's walls. An we are sure, just in some time, this site will be a new point of interest for the people that every day visit Toledo.

GLADIATOR'S VIDEOGAMES

¡AVE!


Today we are going to speak about some videogames related to the gladitor's world and that we like them.

In this mini-game, from BBC's web, you have to equip three differents types of gladiators for their arena's fights. Only if the equipment is completely correct for that kind of gladiator, he will achieve the total victory.

Click here to play

In this other mini-game from Playmovil's web, is quite easy, but is worthy to wait the time for loading just to see the prologue film of the game, is really nice and funny.

Click here to play

This game has been released this year and is based in a several didactic books about history, that are well know over the world.
The video is really curious, because using really funny's mini-games, you learn a lot of silly little facts about the roman world.

At last, we remmember you this videogame, even when is some years old, and been played and finished meny times, is still one of our most favourites games. Is not a historis game, but is very amused. Its has a lot of details, like the diversity of equipment, types of gladiators, many differents arenas, and its has a very well achivement of balance of power betwen the differents types of gladiators.

We felt a little bit of proud when at the end of one Gladiator's School when we gave a picture to draw for the childrens, one kid quickly identifies one of the gladiators of the picture an said:
- "Look this one is a Retiario, because he has a net like the man that has figthting before".

If our job can at least make that the kids remmeber this, we feel very proud.

We want to say thank to Inmculada, Noelia and all the people of the Tourist Office of Segovia for all their help and amability

LUDUS GLADIATORIUM VULCANUM.

Manufacture of a GALERUS (PAULDRON) (3)

¡AVE!

Vulcan
We have seen Vulcan again inf our dreams, an he remmebered us that we haven't still finished the Retiario's Galerus.

We come back to work trying not to provoque his fury, in order to continue with his blessings.

We had achieve to make the form in the sheet of metal, and this was the final result.


Now we have to clean all the paint from the sheet of metal.

To do that, we use this brush an the drill.
(Dont forget to use gloves, because the brush slipping for the sheet of metal an we can get hurt)


After we remove all the paint this is the result.


Now we have the Galerus ready to fix on it the straps of fastening.
In our case we will use this old belts.


As you can see, we use 3 of them. the two of them at the top are to fix the galerus around the chest, in this case you could use only one but bigger. In our case, because we dont have a cinturon that big we use 2 differents belts, but with similar wide.

We will use the third belt in order to fix the galerus to the arm, a belt with lest wide will be enough.

Now we have to fabricate the fastenings of the belts to the sheet of metal. To do that, we cut with the drill that soak through a rectangles of metal the same shape of the belts that we are using.


Next, we turn the metal over a screwdriver for its central part.


With the help of our “anvil” and a small hammer, we turn the metal for one of it sides, in this way.



When the metal's pieces are turn, we insert the belt in the fastenings. (you will need to open the pieces a little bit with a screwdriver, and after that close them againg with a hammer).


Now, we read the measures that we need directly from the metal of the galerus, an we make the drills in order to rivet the fastenings (as we just did it with the Manicae)


When we just have the belt fasted, we will make the same operation with the others belts, an this is the result.


An we finish it. Now we just have to try it and adapt the long of the belts if they are too long.

¡¡Loor to Vulcan!!

Macro, Cato y Escipión.

¡AVE! Os saluda Póstumo.

Hace unas pocas semanas he acabado de leer “Centurión”, el octavo libro de Simon Scarrow sobre las aventuras de los ya famosos Macro y Cato.


Tras terminar de leerlo, afirmé una vez mas de que el autor había dejado (como suele decirse) el pabellón bien alto. Ya que gracias a su gran conocimiento de las legiones en la época del Emperador Claudio, y a sus dos personajes, había logrado otra vez que los lectores nos adentrásemos una vez mas el la dura vida de las Legiones Romanas de ese periodo.

Hoy, tras terminar de leer “Africanus” de Santiago Posteguillo he tenido que afirmar, de que ya hay otro estandarte ondeando a su misma altura.

Hace tiempo, ya pudimos leer algo sobre la vida de este ilustre Escipión, en “la aventura de los Romanos en Hispania” de Juan Antonio Cebrian.

Pero he de decir que “Africanus” me ha dejado totalmente fascinado, ya que no solo se centra en las campañas militares de Escipión, si no que gracias al resto de personajes y sus vivencias de tan variada índole, podemos adentrarnos profundamente en la vida en aquella época.

Además, si has visitado Cartagena (como es mi caso), y has visto los restos arqueológicos de Cartago Nova, su puerto, los restos de la muralla Púnica, y mapas de la época, el acercamiento a la toma de Qart Hadasht es total.

Por ello recomiendo a todos los que nos gusta la Historia Romana su lectura, ya que no les defraudará. Y por suerte, ya podemos tener la segunda parte del libro, y la tercera está en proceso de creación.

Entrenamiento 31-01-2009

¡AVE!

En este entrenamiento hemos seguido practicando con nuestras nuevas armas de metal.

Poco a poco, vamos adquiriendo un poquito más de confianza y de destreza en el manejo y
control de las armas de metal.

Aunque en esta sesión nos hemos centrado más en el entrenemiento con armas de metal, no
hemos dejado de lado nuestras armas de madera, con las que tenemos más control y nos arriesgamos
a ejecutar nuevos y más complicados ejercicios.

En un futuro realizaremos los ejercicios que ahora entrenamos con las armas de madera, con las armas
de metal, pero primero necesitamos tenerlos bien controlados y memorizados.

Aun nos queda mucho entrenamiento por delante, pero ya se puede apreciar una pequeña diferencia entre
este último entrenamiento y el anterior que fue nuestro primer contacto con las armas de metal.

Aquí dejo el video de esta sesión de entrenamiento, que hemos titulado....
"EL BAILE DEL ACERO".

Entrenamiento del 17-01-2009

¡AVE!

Después de unos meses de inactividad en cuanto a los entrenamientos, hemos iniciado la nueva etapa del año 2009.

Los entrenamientos se celebrarán todos los sábados por la tarde, siempre que el tiempo nos lo permita, ya que teníamos previsto iniciar esta nueva etapa el sábado 10 de enero, pero fue imposible, ¡menuda nevada!.

Para esta nueva etapa contamos con la colaboración de Pilar, que muy amablemente nos has proporcionado nuevas espadas de metal y nos enseña nuevas técnicas sobre todo con las espadas de estilo medieval. Armas mucho más largas que a lo nosotros estamos acostumbrados.

Esta semana hemos entrenado con ese nuevas armas de metal. Específicamente con espadas medievales y falcatas.

Para las espadas medievales Pilar nos enseñará como movernos y las técnicas básicas. En cuanto a las falcatas se adaptan mucho más a las técnicas que nosotros ya utilizamos en la escuela de gladiadores al tratarse de armas mucho más cortas.

Como se puede ver en el vídeo adjunto, esta primera toma de contacto con armas de metal ha hecho que hayamos sido mucho más cautelosos que de costumbre.

Nos ha sorprendido el peso y el equilibrio de las armas, pero confiamos que seamos capaces de utilizarlas con cierta destreza en 2 o 3 sesiones de entrenamiento más.

Los asistentes al entrenamiento fueron:
- Doktor
- Postumo
- Artifex
- Celer
