The new Antique Festival celebrates Roman culture with music, dance, and knowledge-sharing. The "Trio Aeterna" combines modern sounds with ancient references, while music archaeologist Hagen Pätzold presents fascinating original instruments. Short lectures focus on the theater, the Jupiter column, and the Drusus stone. Young visitors can participate in creative hands-on stations, try on costumes, take photos, and craft. Additionally, real legionaries are on-site for visitors to touch and question.
