Brot und Spiele

[jayes_musings]

Last weekend (if you've seen my FB) me and the hubby went to the nearby city of Trier (oldest city in Germany) and enjoyed the Brot und Spiele (Bread and Games) fest that they held amongst ruins of the Imperial Baths. They had a Roman camp, artizans, food and beer (it is Germany, after all!) and displays. Unfortunately, we didn't know we had to buy the tickets to the full Gladiator Games in advance, so we missed out on that, but next year.

Certain muses were also very much awake.

The Gladiators




A very small Roman cohort


They battled the Germanic Barbarians...and lost.


So they tried again...


...And fared no better, with their Centurion being captured...


...and then killed


And finally, me overlooking the ruins and the camp.
