The Lugdunum Museum is hosting a free historical reenactment on Saturday, October 10, to give visitors a glimpse into the daily life of a Roman matron during Antiquity. This event is part of the museum’s temporary exhibition titled Passé antérieur: voir au-delà des vestiges, which aims to explore historical periods beyond just the physical remains found at archaeological sites. The reenactment is being organized in partnership with the Pax Augusta association, a group dedicated to promoting Roman history and culture through educational activities. During the event, visitors will have the opportunity to learn about the responsibilities of a Roman matron, who played a central role in managing the domestic economy of a household. The reenactment will include immersive scenes that recreate life in a Roman house, including the use of thermal baths, which were important social and relaxation spaces in ancient Roman society. These scenes are designed to provide a more vivid and interactive experience of daily Roman life. The event will feature four performances, each lasting 30 minutes, starting at 2:30 p.m. Each performance will offer a different aspect of a Roman matron’s life, allowing visitors to engage with various elements of Roman domestic and social life. The reenactment is free of charge and open to the public, making it accessible to all interested in Roman history and culture. This event is part of the museum’s ongoing efforts to make history more engaging and accessible through interactive and immersive experiences. By bringing the past to life through reenactments, the museum encourages visitors to connect with history in a more personal and tangible way.
