For schools, museums and organisers

✦

We bring lesser-known aspects of antiquity to the public – on our own or together with institutions and event organisers.

Demonstrations

  • battles between Dacian cavalry and infantry
  • duels and the use of ancient weapons
  • weaving on an ancient upright loom, metalwork and ancient blacksmithing

Hands-on activities

Visitors try on military and civil equipment under the close guidance of our reenactors, and take their first steps in pottery, leatherwork, tanning and blacksmithing.

Living History

History lessons in schools: our members, dressed as Greeks, Celts, Dacians, gladiators, Romans or Germanic warriors, present life in antiquity with replicas of civil and military equipment.
