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?

The mission: Your story in Nijmegen
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.
