How cool would it be to see inside a real Roman fort?

This is the main entry gate to the Saalburg Roman fortress.

This is the main gate of a real ancient Roman fort on the ancient frontier of Germania, from back in the days where only a picket wall separated the Germanic barbarians from Roman civilization; a fort just like you would expect to see in the film “Gladiator”. Except this is no Hollywood backdrop. It’s the real thing and a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site, just a few miles outside the City of Frankfurt.

How would you like to see how real Romans lived? Maybe learn how to swing a gladius sword? Or throw a pilum spear? Or how about dining in Roman style? With Days of Yore Travel we can take you back in time to experience what life was like living on the Roman frontier. If you would like to experience the true Roman feeling, send us an email for more information.
