Well, "Archways to Empty Spaces" lead to a flash back in time - all the way back to the ancient city of Carnuntum - full of Legionnaires, Gladiators, and knights in shining armor. What am I talking about? Well few weekends ago we stumbled upon a massive archeological park nestled behind a chain of quaint Austrian villages just a few kilometers outside of Bratislava. From the road I had no idea that we were driving past the ruins of one of Rome's most important northern cities - Carnuntum. For more info check out the website - Archäologischer Park CarnuntumLuckily for us our visit coincided with the annual RomerFest, which is a huge festival reenacting many aspects of the everyday life of Carnuntum. It was great! They had on display everything from archery, textile production, traditional food, medicines, arts, and of course a good dosage of Gladiator battles & Ligonier fighting formations. One of the best events were the Calvary fighting on horseback. It was awesome!
Ok.. so, enjoy the pics. We will post more later.
