For the fifth consecutive year, Barcino Oriens and the Foundation Cultural Hostafrancs jointly organizes with the Associació de Comerciants de Creu Coberta days of recreation and Roman historical reconstruction through the streets of the Sants district, Barcelona. As every year Desperta Ferro will be present with a stand and all available funds available to our readers in Barcelona.
On June 18 and 19 There will be a series of exhibitions, workshops and conferences around the Roman world along the entire commercial axis of Creu Coberta. This edition opens a new location for the entire Roman camp at the meeting point of Creu Coberta number 26, the side of Plaza España. The legionaries of the Legio II Traiana Fortis will coexist in that place with the gladiators of the Ludus Imperialis Barcinonensis , both historical recreation groups belonging to Barcino Oriens. There you can also participate in a legionary school for the little ones.
Between the Torre d'en Damians and Sant Roc, in front of the Joan Pelegrí High School, various spaces will recreate Roman civil life, its objects and armor, as well as being a place to find information on cultural dissemination and Roman crafts. P> 
Some of the news presented this year are the workshop of perfumes, make-up and hairstyles from the Roman era by Ornatrices de Barcino Orines , and various activities for the little ones such as Roman games by the Museu d’Arqueologia de Catalunya.
