Terra Dacica Aeterna at Sarmizegetusa

Roman toughness

..and softness

March before the consacratio

Being part of a reenactment group is a novel and inspiring experience for me. It makes research a practical, immediately useful activity; it brings back childhood memories of going on school trips and summer camps; it makes you think about how others see you and force you decide if that is important to you or not. All in all, I recommend it, even for people who are not particularly fond of history or Antiquity. As not much choice is available, I recommend my own group: Terra Dacia Aeterna from Cluj-Napoca. Here are some shots of our latest trip to Sarmizegetusa, the capital of Roman Dacia.

Roman dance

or dancing with the wolf..




This is yet another visual explanation of how fun reenactment can be. The dancers and the wolf are my colleagues from Terra Dacia Aeterna and the performance took place in Orastie, in the break of our latest show.

Dacian and Roman art (fair)

Despite the intentional confusion, this was just an art fair with guests from the Dacian and Roman reenactment group, Terra Dacica Aeterna. The organizer of the open air art fair, the apARTe NGO, has secured the small square in front of Mathias Corvinus' birth house for Dacians, Romans, and other artists!
