Spend an unforgettable night in the faithfully recreated legionary's quarters Contubernia! Pupils learn under the guidance of a legionary or a Roman woman everything that a Roman soldier had to know and be able to do. After marching, the school class cooks a traditional legionary meal by the fire. Then it's on with fights, games and campfire atmosphere.
As a highlight, straw mattresses in the contubernium invite you to a unique Roman sleeping experience. As soon as the fire goes out and peace returns to Vindonissa, it's time for a Roman sleepover in unique surroundings!
The new day begins with a self-prepared Roman breakfast and once again demands all your legionary skills.
