Provincia Gallia - Events (Nova Roma)

Nova Roma Gallia has participated, in this summer 2007, to four major reenactment events in France :

• Between she-owl and she-wolf, 12 hours to celebrate Greeks and Latins
  Sat. 23th June
  Abbey of Ardenne, near Caen (Normandy)
  During this 12 hours event workshops, shows, debates, conferences and screenings were available around the general thema of how the Greek-Latin culture stays (or not) firm in modern occidental education. A children space allowed the youngest, from 2 to 7 pm, to make small statues, fibulae or ancient coins, to taste Apicius’s cooking, play ancient games, read 'ancient' comics, or attend a gladiators show. An ancient Roman dinner will end the day in the fresh air, by torchlight.

• Boulogne historical camp
  Sa 21st and Su. 22th July
  Boulogne-sur-mer(Pas-de-Calais)
  Boulogne-sur-mer is the ancient Gesoriacum, then Bononia. It was Caesar's Portus Itius and Classis Britannica's operational base.
  As Boulogne is also a key Napoleonian spot (scheduled invasion of England), a multi-period event has been organized, for the first time, this year. Romans have had a real success, specially Legio VIII Augusta which was reinforced by the other Legio XXII group, this time based in Bavay (ancient Bagacium - Nord).

  Autun (Saône-et-Loire)
  For the first time, the ancient famous Augustodunum has organized a gallo-roman week-end, with a movie session, a roman dinner, a 'gallo-roman street' with exhibitions by Gallic and gladiators troops. The evenings have proposed 'Augustodunum, Murcia's travel' a night sound-and-light show. Despite the weather (clouds and rain every day !), people appreciated the event.
