Guided by Quintus, a young soldier from the Tenth Legion, you’ll explore the buried traces of Roman civilization that still linger beneath the city’s streets.

📜 STORYLINE:
My name is Quintus, and I once walked these same streets you now explore.
I served in the Tenth Legion, here in Noviomagus—what you now call Nijmegen.
The city has changed, but the past is still here. Hidden stones, whispered names, and graves of ordinary people like a woman once buried near the forum.
Through me, you’ll learn how we built, how we ruled, how we spoke—and how we remembered.
This isn’t about glory. It’s about connection.
Walk with me, solve a few riddles, and help me keep our story alive.
