Three extraordinary days to relive the spirit of Aquileia’s origins through spectacular historical reenactment: a journey through time exploring the history, traditions, and legends of ancient Aquileia.
Wander through the city’s historic center and archaeological areas and immerse yourself in everyday life during antiquity — from the routine of a Roman legionary to that of a Celtic warrior; from the knowledge and flavors of the ancient marketplace to the thrill of gladiatorial combat, ending with music, dances, rituals, and celebrations inspired by ancient customs and offerings.
