The exhibition presents various aspects of the everyday life of ancient Romans and the barbaric peoples inhabiting the territories north of the Roman border, including the Sarmatians, the Vandals, the Goths and the Balts.

       The exposition was created by the Archaeological Museum in Biskupin. The wide range of exhibits has been obtained from a number of Polish institutions and museums, including the Poznań Archaeological Museum and the Debreczyn Déri Museum in Hungary. The exhibition is accompanied by numerous boards with commentaries richly illustrated with photographs and by reconstructions, including fragments of a Roman room, a Roman road, the Hadrian Wall, Vandal huts and a barrow of the Balts.
