Without its perfectly organised army, Rome would never have risen to become a world power. Legionaries were not only soldiers, but also carriers of culture who spread technology, language and everyday culture throughout the entire Mediterranean region.
The workshop “The Roman Army – Power Factor and Culture Bearer in the Ancient Mediterranean” invites you to experience history in a lively way. Led by Margit Linder and Michaela Zinko, participants will immerse themselves in the lives of Roman legionaries: What strategies and structures made the army so powerful? How did the soldiers shape the empire – and what did their everyday life look like?
The highlight: In the interactive part, visitors can slip into the role of a Roman legionary themselves. With armour, sword and shield, history is not only told, but made tangible.
The course is open to pupils aged 15 and over and anyone interested in history. The participation fee is €7 per person.
