Product Description
Description
We will return to the time of Taras, as if we were travelling in an unbelievable time machine, to the today’s Taranto city, founded by the Spartans in the 8th century B.C. After wearing the period clothes, and being armed and equipped, we will live a real hoplite experience of Magna Graecia, at a time when the population of Taranto, of Greek descent, fiercely opposed the Roman army. We will join the training on how to use the spear, the shield (oplon) and the bow with the master of ancient weapons. We will recall the religious rites and the myths of the ancient Taras and we will get to know our fellow travelers. We will switch between historical reconstructions and moments of “combat” in the archaeological outdoor sites, but also we will live experiences of everyday life by tasting the typical local farmer dishes offered in an outdoor refreshment point. The experience is suitable for both men and women and children.
