Experience fast-paced chariot races and dramatic gladiator fights on Roman Day Vindonissa: Roman chariots and horses compete against each other at the Windisch amphitheater. Impressive gladiators also fight for fame and honor in the cheering crowd of spectators - an ancient spectacle in front of a historical backdrop!

The Roman Day 2022 shows the whole variety of Roman everyday life in and around the legionary camp: The smell of Roman delicacies, the shoemaker shows his craft, and the Medica demonstrates how they nurse gladiators back to health after the fight. In workshops, visitors also work on bones or practice Roman writing.
