Storyline

My name is Quintus. I serve in the Tenth Legion, and this is Noviomagus — the Roman town beneath your feet. 

Walk with me, and I’ll show you what remains. Stones, walls, tombs… and forgotten names. You’ll learn about emperors, gods, language and numbers — and meet a woman once buried here. 

This isn’t a quest for glory, but for memory. Solve riddles, play along, and discover the past. It will be a fun journey through Nijmegen — or as I still call it, Noviomagus.
