Caesar’s Trophy in Carnuntum
Open Air Museum Petronell
Have you ever dreamed of being Emperor of Carnuntum? Leading a life full of glory, luxury and pleasures of the flesh? Then ascend with us the steep career ladder from simple servant to ruler over a Roman metropolis!
Beginning as slaves, you have to pass a short test, of course, in order to gain the status of a freedman/woman and be allowed to wear a tunic – a requirement for your participation in Caesar’s trophy.
A sacrificial ceremony should make the gods favour you – and then the journey back to ancient times can begin: throwing the javelin, the orca game or quoting Latin – these are only some of the stages on your way to becoming Emperor. But with help from the goddess of luck, Fortuna, you will certainly successfully pass the special tests and with much pomp be raised to a “cives honoris Carnunti” – an honorary citizen of Carnuntum. And, who knows, perhaps you will become Emperor and enjoy the homage paid to you by your faithful citizens when you receive the golden laurel crown!
Duration: ca. 3 hours
Price per person: EUR 21.- (includes minting a Carnuntum coin as a souvenir)
