1pm - Cursus Publicus Relay Race
The cursus publicus ("public road/course") was the state-run courier service of the Roman Empire. It was created by Emperor Augustus to transport messages, officials, and tax revenues from one province to another. A series of forts and stations (mutationes, sing. mutatio) were spread out along the major road systems connecting the regions of the Roman world. These relay points provided horses to dispatch riders, usually soldiers, and vehicles for magistrates or officers of the court. In this event we re-enact the cursus with relay-race teams (anyone can sign up to race), to transmit an important message and returning its answer to the doors of Rome. Prizes will be given for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place based on best time running the course.
