Already the romans loved it to decorate their homes by mosaics or murals and to express the wealth and influence of a city by grand statues on public places. In the theaters they entertained themselfs and presented their culture both in text and vision. Small portraits on coins spread their messages all over the empire as well as great reliefs at triumphal archs told the history of rome. Especially in the imperial age, pictures and their messages were an important part of roman culture.
It is one of the important aims of the I. ROEMERCOHORTE OPLADEN e.V. to reach a wide public and so we do not want to leave out this roman way of talking in pictures. According to the meaning of "Living history", we do not want to present historical knowledge by listing dry facts, but by showing interesting and inspiring scenes and actions. This includes a photo gallery as well as an entertaining and humorous view on roman history and on ourselfs. If you enjoyed visiting our website, we would be happy about your comment in our guestbook. Perhaps you will be able to meet us at one of our next events.
