The everyday equipment with glasses and ceramics is also really well made and has survived the hard life of a soldier well. In general, the range of products is truly sensational and offers unique products from the Roman era for many age groups and requirements, from hardcore legionnaires to little Roman fans of primary school age.

Hello and thank you very much for the great products!

Our students were thrilled with the papyrus coloring pictures and the scarabs. As promised, I am sending you photos of the work with the coloring pictures. I wrote a review for the "scarab" coloring picture, but it can also be added to all the other pictures, since we had different motifs.

The lovingly and authentically designed products from the Römer-Shop have been accompanying me for years and even decades in the field of ancient representation. As a centurion in a Roman military unit until a few years ago, the stationery, from wax tablets to papyrus scrolls, was extremely helpful for high-quality appearances and presentations at museum festivals, in reenactment and in museum education work.

The card is easy to work with and the cardboard is sturdy enough for such projects. Perhaps small cast figures and horses on a plastic base would be a useful addition to the shop, rather than the cardboard pictures. My 12-year-old son had fun making something like that

Experience Cardboard Model Making

Cardboard model making is more than just a creative hobby – it combines craftsmanship, patience, and a love for history. Each model takes you on a journey through past eras. Whether it’s the Roman Colosseum, a medieval fortress, or an ancient temple complex – each template tells its own story and invites you to discover it in miniature form.

For craft enthusiasts, cardboard model making offers a unique experience: finest details and well-thought-out constructions turn every model into a small masterpiece. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a beginner or a pro – thanks to easy-to-follow instructions, getting started is effortless.

Even today, important documents are preserved on papyrus scrolls because of the material’s durability. Papyrus and parchment still offer the ideal properties of a writing medium. In addition, the material is not only affordable but also sustainable, as most models are made from eco-friendly cardboard.

Take on the challenge and create something unique. The pride in the finished piece is incomparable – and the memory lasts.
