Green light for Roman cavalry project along length of Hadrian's Wa

Recommended Posts

The story of Roman cavalrymen on Hadrian’s Wall will be told along the world heritage site next year, thanks to a £690,000 grant from Arts Council England’s Museum resilience fund. The Hadrian’s Cavalry proposal was put forward by a partnership of heritage organisations which includes Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums, English Heritage, National Trust, Vindolanda Trust, Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery Trust, Senhouse Museum Trust and Northumberland National Park Authority.

The money, announced this week, allow the cavalry project to follow the Wall Face exhibition last year, which was the first exhibition organised jointly by the partnership at sites across the country from Arbeia Roman Fort in South Shields to the Senhouse Roman Museum in Maryport in Cumbria.

What?

 

That is absurdly expensive. It doesn't cost that much to rent some horses and slap on some recreational body armor.

 

We build an Indian village every few years here for free, and across the river they set up pioneer and revolutionary war tents and dress the part.... FOR FREE. Teepees, costume, muskets....

 

Just where is this money being sucked away to? It's like the Queens absurdly expensive train.... I don't understand why everything has to cost a million bucks in England that can be done free or very cheap elsewhere.
