Ask HN: Did people on the middle ages re-enact ancient times?

I just went to a festival in Northern Italy, which was set to mimic the middles ages. The food, cutlery (or, the lack of it), entertainment, were all set to match the times. I've been to many events/restaurants around Europe that are set to re enact the middle ages. Is this a new phenomenon of re enacting a different period in time? Or, did people in the middle ages re enact the ancient times?
