The mission: Your story in Nijmegen

My name is Quintus. I serve in the Tenth Legion and this is Noviomagus, the Roman city beneath your feet. Walk with me and I will show you what remains of the past. Roads, walls, graves and forgotten names. You will learn about emperors and daily life on the northern frontier of the Roman Empire.
This is not just a tour. I will also tell you my story and let you experience what this city has been through.
