The gladiator group “Amor Mortis” is a group of academics, amateurs and actors who aim to bring history to life.
They create their equipment using the limitations of ancient times wherever possible. The combat style that they use is an interpretation based on pictorial sources, information from professional fighters, and the logical uses of weaponry.
They’re well on their way to being in a position to present gladiators of the 1st decade both realistically and scientifically, due to their experiences and continual learning.
The unique atmosphere of the ancient amphitheatre will be the backdrop for these exciting and gripping exhibitions of combat. This will be one of the many highlights of the GeoXantike programme of events, for sure!
PS: For those who want to discover the Lower Rhine by bicycle: you can now hire “Niederrheinräder” on our shop.
Ave, dear cachers! This message is specially for those supporters who virtually tore the Sponsor Coins from our hands last Sunday. Thanks to your support, the Sponsor Coins are now sold out, meaning that the planned programme for children/U18s can go ahead – thank you so much!
We’ve also received a few queries regarding the Event Coins, so the following information will probably be of interest to coin collectors: the official Event Coins are only available in the three examples offered in our store. There will be no other versions or special editions. So, if you pre-order all three coins, you know you’ll be getting all of the official Event Coins in one hit.
The Kid’s Coin associated with the Sponsor Coins has been created with our younger cachers in mind – they tend to prefer our mascot. This is still available to pre-order in our store.
Following on from last week’s announcement of the Roman group “Classis Augusta Germanica”, we’ve saved a very special announcement for this, the second Sunday of Advent.
We’d mentioned it before, but we’re pleased to say that it’s finally time for our online store to open its virtual doors at shop.geoxantike.de.This is where you can book your tickets for both the Main Event and the Meet & Greet. In addition, this is also where you can order event T-shirts, Event Coins and Sponsor Coins – it’s a one-stop-shop!
Guided tours, presentations and workshops will, unfortunately, be restricted in terms of the number of people who can participate, due to the size of the venue.
We wish you all lots of fun while you decide what to purchase, and we hope to welcome you in Xanten next year!
We’ve got a preview of the Eventcoin.
We’d like to thank the 3,000+ cachers who’ve indicated that they wish to participate in Roman life in the coming year. Preparations are in full swing and some questions have already reached us in a variety of ways. We’d like to answer a few of these questions via this announcement.
In addition to the workshops and presentations, actual geocaching won’t be neglected at this event: we’ll be preparing various caches for you just as we did at TipiTipiTap. More information will follow soon!
Children and young people under 18 years will be offered free entry to GeoXantike. But in order to provide a suitable programme – especially to children – we need your support: all early “Will attend” logs help!
For those who wish to do more, why not support us by purchasing a sponsor coin? All proceeds go directly toward the children’s programme. Speaking of the sponsor coins – they differ significantly to the event coins. Both can be admired on our website from today.
The online store will open early in December on our website. It’s the place to pre-order tickets, all coins, event t-shirts and programme events where participants are limited (e.g. workshops and guided tours). Look out for a further announcement shortly!
Have you found and liked our event on Facebook yet? We regularly post interesting insights and background information there. We look forward to all visitors and supporters there.
A first sponsorship contribution has reached us. We’ve got a Brown / AntiqueGold Scarab (RE40) for auction from Black Teddy. You can participate at this auction via email. Just send us your bid to sponsoring@geoxantike.de until 10/05/2014 (12 clock). The winner will be announced here.
With this money we will organize a small part of an absolute highlight for our minicachers. True to the motto “children experience history” there will be a Roman group which will show the children how Roman life really was.
