Trier/Augusta
Treverorum: Der Alltag im 4. Jahrhundert n.Chr. in einer römischen Stadt (Everyday
life in a Roman city of the Fourth century CE) The
modern-day city, Trier, which sits on the Moselle River near the Luxembourg
border, was more than just a northern military outpost of the Roman Empire. It
was an important center of commerce (coins were struck in Trier), as well as a
center of a rich cultural life (numerous ruins/mosaics, etc. attest to this). It
has often been referred to as “Roma Secunda.” In my presentation I would like to recreate a sense of the “everyday” in Augusta Treverorum (Trier). With the help of an excellent German web site, I will show how students, in German, can experience a part of this ancient life and learn something of the Roman legacy in this city, as well as practice their use of German in the process. web-edited by Dr. Janice Siegel |
