With a small engagement at the Family Night at the Neanderthal Museum we started successfully into the new season on 31.1.
Our plans for the new season are in full swing. There are already many exciting events on the schedule.
Roman Army at your service
The I. ROEMERCOHORTE OPLADEN e.V ("First Roman Cohort of Opladen") is a historical society which aims to reconstruct the equipment, the way of life and the everyday duty of the Roman Army and its civilian surroundings by re-enacting ancient Roman life as authentically as possible. For more than 30 years this has been done by reconstructing several items of daily use, both large and small. Many activities are carried out in cooperation with archaeological museums, where we then present the results of our work to the public.
At a glance
Emporer Vespasian

Auxiliaries
Whether border guards, scouts or transport mission: Auxiliaries were an indispensable part of the Roman army.
