Opening of an exhibition of the Römerkastell Saalburg in cooperation with the Reiss-Engelhorn-Museen Mannheim and Tricture. The exhibition runs until 28 October 2018. 

As a slave, pour out the wine, march with the Roman soldiers or pull rotten teeth as Medicus? Mix with the Romans! Large-format oil paintings surprise with amazing 3D effects. Scenes from everyday life, intimate or spectacular, tempt visitors to immerse themselves in the living world of the Romans. Visitors thus become part of the exhibition itself. Original Roman finds and replicas of ancient objects are shown in each scene and presented in their real context. If you look closely, you will discover the discovered objects in the pictures.

The exhibition takes you very close to authentic Roman environments. You could almost believe that you are really in ancient Rome. An interactive journey through time to get involved and photograph!
