Roman Games in Ptuj take visitors back in time

Ptuj, 17 August - Ptuj, Slovenia's oldest town, will be turning back the clock for four days starting Thursday, as it transforms into Roman Poetovio for the 16th Roman Games. Some 800 performers from six countries will recreate life and customs from 2,000 years ago, when the town was a major trading and craft centre.
