About

Once a year, Rusovce, where a Roman military camp guarded the northern border of the empire, fills with Roman soldiers, gladiators and townspeople. Expect fighting and gladiator demonstrations, period crafts and music. Kids can join workshops, watch the fights and explore Ancient Gerulata, a UNESCO site on the Danube Limes. The lectures and discussions suit older kids and parents who want the history.
