01 / Who we areA distant past.
A distant past.
A passion still alive.
Legio Decima APS is an Italian non-profit association dedicated to Roman culture and historical reenactment. We come together to study, recreate and tell stories, turning our curiosity about the ancient world into a shared experience.
Behind every costume, gesture and reconstruction are people. We believe in learning together, trying new things and introducing history to those discovering it for the first time.
Based in Monza, with members from across Italy.
Our strength lies in what we build together.
