The decursio was a military training exercise which acquired ceremonial pageantry. The decursio Troiae was a specifically equestrian event and may have been connected to the earlier Republican transvectio equitum, a ceremony Augustus reinstituted. A similar decursio appears on the base of the Column of Antoninus Pius.
