The XIVth Ides of Burnum: Valetudo bonum optimum (Health is the greatest good)
The traditional Roman celebration of the full moon will be held on Friday the 12th of August 2022 at 9 pm at Burnum, the only preserved Roman military amphitheatre in Croatia, located at Ivoševci near Kistanje
Under the dancing starry sky of Burnum, the musical program of the festivities will feature performances by the members of Metaklapa, who merge the traditional “klapa” songs of Dalmatia with heavy metal music, and the 4 Tenors, an impressive band with great personality, whose repertory includes well-known opera arias, chansons, and evergreen classics.
The Burnum Ides, a musical and stage event that revives customs from the Roman period, over two thousand years old, from the period when the Romans ruled over these regions, will be further enriched by the traditional fair program held in front of the amphitheatre, which will begin at 8 pm. In addition to being introduced to customs from the period of ancient Rome, and the crafts of that time, visitors will also be able to view military equipment that will be on display in a reconstructed Roman military tent in front of the amphitheatre.
The aim of holding this event is to introduce visitors and local inhabitants to the exceptional features of the archaeological site of Burnum. Every year, under the clear August sky the history of this area in the Roman period is reconstructed, by displaying the life and customs of the civilian population, but also including indispensible elements of the skills of the legionary soldiers, supplemented by various artistic forms whose very roots and themes are derived from that time.
Entrance is free of charge. Join us again this year on the night of the full moon!
