The Kremser Humanistische gesellschaft warmly invites you to this lecture.
A glimpse behind the military façade
What truly occupied a Roman soldier of the Imperial period in everyday life? The enemy at the gates – or rather the practical concerns of daily living?
Drawing on original letters and written documents, the lecture looks behind the military façade of the Roman Empire. It reveals garrison life, personal worries, complaints and longings, as well as the soldiers’ experiences far from home.
About the Kremser Humanistische Gesellschaft
Since 1996, the Krems Humanist Society has been dedicated to promoting humanities-focused discussions, fostering cultural education, and encouraging lively exchange on topics related to European intellectual and cultural history.
Roman Trails
The project focuses on the creation of a common, cross-border thematic region of the areas of South Moravia and the northern part of Lower Austria (Weinviertel), based on the - little known - Roman history north of the Danube and the establishment of interactive (long-distance) hiking and cycling trails along the traces of the Roman history.
