Fondazzjoni Wirt Artna together with Legio X Fretensis is organizing a Roman weekend at Fort Rinella in Kalkara.

The army of ancient Rome was a formidable fighting force – well disciplined, organized and supplied with an array of effective and battle-proven weapons. The sword and spear were the infantryman’s main weapon, and the spectacular military successes of the Roman legions throughout Europe and the Near East lay in disciplined battlefield application and relentless training in use of these weapons.

On this occasion talk and lectures will aim to give visitors a better understanding of the courage and determination which the Roman Empire exhibited. The aim is to show the soldiers life in ancient history, and prowess in the use of arms and disciplined drill with different formations on foot and horses. FWA’s initiative is meant to support Legio X and promote more awareness in all aspects of Maltese history.
