For a weekend May, Roman legionaries, an imperial court, riders and battle chariots take over the city of Nîmes to take part in one of the biggest re-enactments of ancient history in Europe.
Over 500 actors and extras from all over France, Italy and Germany participate in the event. A grandiose spectacle lasting an hour-and-a-half takes place in the arena on Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Each year, the Great Roman Games has a different theme and depicts a highlight of ancient history. Several scenes unfold with equestrian vaulting demonstrations, gladiatorial combat and chariot racing.
