The cavalryman December


Ein Darsteller des römischen Soldaten DecemberDecember

 

  1. December was stationed in Ruffenhofen as a cavalry soldier. We know this because a piece of his helmet was found with his name stamped on it. Unfortunately, we do not know any more about December. In the LIMESEUM, the life December talks about is fictional - but it could easily describe a real soldier's daily life. ->  Videoclip
  2. As a cavalry soldier, December had many duties, such as training with the horses, practicing drills, taking part in military exercises, and also standing sentry. In the fort, he didn't live with his family, but rather with his comrades and their horses. ->  Videoclip
