For the presentation of Roman life it is necessary to concentrate on a clearly defined time period. The amount of archaeological findings may be the most obvious reason for choosing a limited period of time. Regarding the equipment, the I. ROEMERCOHORTE OPLADEN e.V. concentrates on the second half of the first century AD up to the early second century AD. This is mainly the time starting with the entering upon office of Emporer Vespasian (69 - 79 AD) followed by his sons Titus (79 - 81 AD) and Domitian (81 - 96 AD), continuing with Nerva (96 - 98 AD) and Traian (98 - 117 AD) and ending with Hadrian (117 - 138 AD).
This period is prescribed especially by concentraiting our presentation on the units Legio VI Victrix and Cohors VI Asturum of the province Germania inferior. A special fixed point of time for our group is the emporership of Titus Flavius Vespasianus (69 - 79 AD). Most of our reconstructed and presented equipment might have been in existence at this time.
