Romans in Noviomagus (Nijmegen)
In this quest, you’ll explore it through the eyes of Quintus, a young Roman soldier. Walk past hidden walls, ancient roads, and forgotten stories. Learn how the Romans built, ruled, spoke, and lived.
From emperors to everyday people; there’s so much to see, to hear, to learn… and sometimes even to touch. Are you ready to take the journey?

Storyline
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.
