Events: History

Enter the Roman Empire. In the past, a Roman military camp was located on the current territory of Rusoviec as part of the northern border of the Roman Empire. Even though the Romans left Rusovce a long time ago, on Saturday, October 12, we will have a glimpse into the life of the Romans for the 27th time in the cultural monument registered in the UNESCO list. The Ancient Gerulata Museum and its surroundings will once again be transformed into a settlement full of soldiers, gladiators, ancient weapons, armor and their favorite foods.

On Sunday, 13 October, a replica of the Roman rowboat Danuvina Alacris (translated as “Living Danube”) will sail to the Gate of Freedom under Devín Castle. During Sunday afternoon, the boat will remind the glorious history of the times when the Danube River formed the borders of the Roman Empire. It was the international archaeological site Borders of the Roman Empire that got Bratislava on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2021. Danuvina Alacris will arrive in Bratislava on the Danube at 12.30 and will be on display for the public on the Morava River until 16.30.
