The Apulum Guard has four turpes, the Romans, the XIII Gemini Legion, the Wolves of Apulon, the Ludus Apulenis and the Magna Nemesis dancers will be present in the same location as we have used to you so far, in front of the 4th proto, and if the weather is favorable we will move to Principia. The event is organized by the Alba Iulia City Hall with the support of the National Museum of the Alba Iulia Union. As always, the programs are different, we will also have new things,” stated Liviu Zgârciu, spokesperson of the National Museum of the Alba Iulia Union, for ziarulunirea.ro.

The Apulum Guard is an ancient historical reenactment troupe composed of four formations – the XIII Gemina Legion, the Wolves of Apoulon, the Ludus Apulensis and the Magna Nemesis.

The formations are made up of volunteers from Albaiuli who try to reconstruct military and civil aspects of Daco-Romanian history, focusing on the promotion of local heritage.
