The remains of the ancient city of Aquincum, the capital of the Roman Pannonia province.

Had a fun day at the Roman festival of Floralia at the Aquincum Museum in Budapest.

The Roman-Barbarian ball game devolved into a friendly brawl when fans invaded the field.

Barbarians cheered for gladiators by bouncing and chanting "IF YOU DON'T JUMP YOU'RE ROMANIZED", soccer fan style.

My toddler followed the gladiator fights with enthusiastic cheering and then in the end asked me "do they have booboos?" 🤣

Doing some #storytelling today at the Aquincum Amphitheater in Budapest 😊 Two-day Roman festival, gladiators, battles, living history, all kinds of fun.

I have two sets of stories, one of little known Greek and Roman myths (such as an alternate version of Achilles' heel), and one of Caucasian Nart sagas (since we have Sarmatian reenactors on site). My little archeologist heart is happy 😊
