Labyrinth through time - free online resources

One of the objectives of our reenactment project Labyrinth through time, financed by the National Cultural Administration Fund [AFCN] of the Romanian government, is to make available free online a series of resources regarding ancient history, reenactment, and patrimony. These are the handouts provided to volunteers and visitors at every weekend meeting, but online they may reach a wider audience.

The handouts contain general presentations on topics related to the reenactment activities performed at Camp Virtus: ancient plants, gardens and gardening tools; textiles, looms, and weaving tablets in Antiquity; Roman altars and ceremonies; food and cooking; bread and ovens; Celtic clothes and costumes and others.

All handouts [in Romanian only] can be downloaded in pdf format from the project's pages on the Camp Virtus website HERE.

VOLUMEN - special history book fair near Cluj

The 2017 season starts shortly at Camp Virtus, my NGO's historical park in the making near Cluj-Napoca, in Salicea. The opening event, prepared for April 29th, is entitled VOLUMEN as it mainly consists of a special book fair, focusing on history books, periodicals, and articles (extracts). Old and new history books are available in English, Romanian, even Slovak, dealing with periods between Classical Antiquity and the Early Modern Period in Central and Eastern Europe - mostly Romania. There will be free history books, special prices for author volumes, and history-inspired bookmarks.

We shall use the occasion to present a special project of ours, Labyrinth through time, financed by the National Cultural Fund Administration of Romania. Those who wish to become involved this year, together with their families, in reenactment weekend workshops and an autumn festival, are welcome to find out all about it!
