Had a fun day at the Roman festival of Floralia at the Aquincum Museum in Budapest.

The Roman-Barbarian ball game devolved into a friendly brawl when fans invaded the field.

Barbarians cheered for gladiators by bouncing and chanting "IF YOU DON'T JUMP YOU'RE ROMANIZED", soccer fan style.

My toddler followed the gladiator fights with enthusiastic cheering and then in the end asked me "do they have booboos?" 🤣

Green field in the museum gardens, with a lapidarium building in the background. On the slopes there are hundreds of spectators. In the fieldnare gladiators waiting for the emperor's decision, facing the stands where the emperor sits in a purple toga. In yhe foreground there are half naked men dressed as barbarians, with the letters OSZTARK painted on their backs, imitating sports fans.
