ADLOCVT COHORS

     ADLOCVT COHORS - Emperor's speech before the start of the military campaign.
Our creative project realized from "ASSOCIATION FOR HISTORICAL RE-ENACTMENT-SCYTIA MINOR-IV LEGION SCYTHICA"
On the ancient Roman coins is written as ADLOCVT COH
As far I am aware, I'm the first one who organized and carried out on the reenactment event ADLOCVT COHORS. This is my old dream that realized due to my knowledge of the Roman numismatics.

1900 years Anniversaries of Emperor Trajan invaded Armenia and the participation of LEGIO IIII SCYTHICA in this remarkable campaign. In early 114, the Emperor Trajan has finally completed his offensive in Dacia аnd decided to implement his previously well thought out plan to solve once and for all the threat on the eastern borders of the Empire. On the Roman frontier of the Euphrates River are concentrated around 13 legions,together with 12,000 Auxillary allied warriors and imperial Praetorian Guard by 9,000 people - a colossal military grouping of around 100 000 people.
     From Antioch the emperor (Trajan) marched to the Euphrates and farther northward as far as the most northerly legion-camp Satala in Lesser Armenia, whence he advanced into Armenia and took the direction of Artaxata.
     Trajan was resolved to make this vassal-state a province, and a shift to eastern frontier of the (Roman) empire generally.Armenia yielded to its fate and became a Roman governorship,Trajan thereupon advanced and occupied Mesopotamia and, like Armenia, Mesopotamia became a Roman province.
     It was the Roman emperor Trajan who finally broke the treaty with Parthia by invading Armenia in 114 A.D. Trajan pushed farther and eventually took the Parthian capital Ctesiphon in 116 A.D., but with his death in 117 A.D. and the rise of Hadrian to the Roman throne, the compromise with the Parthians was restored and the Parthian Vagharsh I was placed in charge of Armenia.

     Our first ADLOCVT COHORS fulfilled on the event "Enemy in front of the of the city gates " (23-24 June 2011) Battle of Abrittus 24 June 2011
It's been many years since our first festival performance Abritvs 24 June 2011. We did this event with great desire (it is evident from the photos and video). Although many years have passed and even now there are theoretical and material preparation and support in the other clubs in Bulgaria we could not see anything compelling in Razgrad (the ancient Abrittus)!


     "The death of a soldier means nothing to the Roman Empire" Trajan Decivs said when he was informed for the death of his son.

     Battle Abrittus (today Razgrad in Bulgaria), also known as the Battle of Forum. In Abrittus Imp.Decius decided to break and stop Goths army. The battle became in June 251. All day the forces were equal, but in the evening Decius and his son Hereniy were killed. Decius was the first emperor died on the battlefield against the barbarians and before emperors were killed in battles, but not with barbarians, it happened in the civil wars.
     After ADLOCVT COH (the imperial speech) legions march on to fulfill their assignment work.
