RES MILITARES

In our place you can learn how Roman legionaries fought brandishing gladius and shield! You will also throw the pilum (the Roman javelin that was used to be thrown at enemies before charging) towards a target. All in complete safety and all fun!

Here you can admire the different types of equipment depending on the historical period of reference (all the armours, helmets, swords and shields are faithful historical reproductions made by artisans, following the archaeological finds that were found in the main excavation sites).

Be aware that the originals of all the different military equipments are scattered across Europe in different museums of Germany, UK, France, Spain etc..

Here you will have an overview of all the different kind of armors and weapons, all in only one place!

There will be no shortage of facts and curiosities about the lifestyle of Roman soldiers. Rome was the leading power of Europe as long as its army was strong and stable. Knowing the history of Rome’s army will give you an understanding of the history of Rome itself, from the founding of the city (753 BC) to the end of its life (476 AD).

You know the legionary armor (the segmented lorica) that is depicted in the movies? Well, know that that is only the surface, and there is actually a world to discover behind it.

Deepen your knowledge and do not just stand by and watch for this time; history can only be understood by experiencing it.

At the end of this experience you will be ready to enlist in the Roman army!
