Roman Shows

This part of Fectio is about all the Roman shows we've been to and participated in over the years. Starting with Marcus Junkelmann's visit to the city of Utrecht on horseback in 1990, then of course the big meeting of the Odijk Roman festival in 1997, and the many Roman Days at Archeon in more recent years.

The image shows Andreas/Chariovalda at the Open Days event at the Tower, September 2006.
