An anachronism (from the Greek ἀνά ana, ‘against’ and χρόνος khronos, ‘time’) is a chronological inconsistency in some arrangement, especially a juxtaposition of persons, events, objects, or customs from different periods. The most common type of anachronism is an object misplaced in time, but it may be a verbal expression, a technology, a philosophical idea, a musical style, a material, a plant or animal, a custom, or anything else associated with a particular period that is placed outside its proper temporal domain.
If it is high noon in Arizona, both the horse and the knight could overheat with all that stuff on. The guy on the ground should tell a long-winded story.

Not sure I can judge this one because I live not far from the Renaissance Faire.

This looks like one of the season finales of LEGENDS OF TOMORROW. All we need is Beebo.

The horseman should be in motion. Stationary cavalry are really just targets.

My money is on the Roman Centurion. Better defence and much more agile.

Very up-to-date town. There’s a spittoon next to the hitch rail for casual spitters and horses that slobber.

Brought to mind “A Knight’s Tale” — the movie, not Chaucer’s (although the Canterbury Tales would also be a good read).

At least it appears to be a “two-horse” town.
