Ancient times are over? Not in Trier! On this unique city tour, you will meet Romans who not only remember Augusta Treverorum, but also live there with complete conviction. Whether a former senator's wife, a craftsman, or someone with excellent connections to the imperial family – they all have their own unique perspective on Roman life in the city. As you stroll through the historic streets of Trier, our actors in authentic clothing will tell you about the heyday of Emperor Constantine and Co. with charm and a twinkle in their eyes. It's not just about monumental buildings such as the cathedral, basilica, or imperial baths, but also about everyday life in the Roman Empire: from Roman fashion to ancient bureaucracy, from fame and power to little personal stories. But what is it like to live as a Roman in today's Trier – without sesterces, sedan chairs, or amphitheaters? Find out for yourself in this entertaining and informative guided tour full of historical anecdotes, wit, and Roman pride.
The guided tour starts at the city's landmark, the Porta Nigra, passes through the city center with its imposing Roman buildings, and ends at the Imperial Baths, including an interior tour of the still-preserved underground passages.
