Roman Era

The International Living History Festival (ILHF) provides an event for all those with an interest and love of history.

The author Christian Cameron has organised two gatherings at the site of the Battle of Marathon, and is organising a third multinational event at Plataea, on the site of the battle of 479 B.C. This truly is a very special experience for all involved. But it takes some planning.

As a major event at the “Musée gallo-romain de Saint-Romain-en-Gal – Vienne,” “Vinalia, a celebration of ancient wine and cuisine,” illustrates the research in experimental archaeology. Come to enjoy a unique one-day experience, and discover the pleasures of wine, good food, and ancient culinary arts.

Treewright is a modern translation of the Old English treowwyrhta. The treewright's job was to manage and convert wood into timber, through splitting, hewing and dressing the raw logs using wooden wedges and a variety of specialist axes. 

Food, that magic word. Today it's so easy to get it, just visit the nearest supermarket or restaurant. But how did people eat earlier? What did all the living in the prehistoric and the Middle Ages mean? Tradespoeple from far distant counties go back thousands of years to the Krumpenowe Krupka Village - this time to hold the Pasta past. Come with them to taste their history!

In the Carnuntum of the late 4th century, the situation has become difficult: an earthquake has damaged parts of the city massively, a part of the population has moved south to Rome and the frequent passage of large troop units makes life in the city uncertain.
