Tales and Identities ArCo

Rich Keltin, poor slave or Roman schoolboy:

In the digital multiple-choice text adventure, you slip into the character you choose. You make the decisions and experience your story. Where your way leads you?

Wild warriors with waving mane, legionaries in shiny armor and women in flowing robes - you may know this image of the Celts and Romans. But what did the everyday life of our ancestors really look like? Archaeological finds tell about how they lived and what current fashion trends were.

You can try for yourself what clothes people wore and then settle on a Roman lounger or Celtic bench. Fancy a selfie in memory of your time travel? Cookware reveals what came on the table at that time. For your stew you choose the ingredients yourself, but beware: which belong to the Roman, which to the Celtic recipe? On your tour in the Colombischlössle you dive with broken door locks or secret curses in criminal circles. Or you follow a Roman road sign and find goods from distant lands such as pepper from India and a glass bowl from Persia.

With which personal gifts you best court the favor of the gods? Places of worship and
Taverns, trade routes and home bathrooms - detailed models with Playmobil figures bring history to life.

The project was developed with teens for teens and families. The exhibition can be found in the Archaeological Museum Colombischlössle in Freiburg im Breisgau.
