SVR Meeting in Germania or Belgica

Postby Cleopatra Aelia on Fri Feb 11, 2005 9:47 pm

Avete Amici,

Please forgive me for writing in English but unfortunately I don't speak Dutch and am not sure if you all speak German or French.

At the Newsflash thread we had the idea of meeting maybe at a Roman style restaurant. But I also got another idea. There are some "Römertage" at various German towns/places which I would like to present here shortly:

15./16.05 (Which are the Pentecost Holidays in Germany) at the Museum in Kalkriese (near the town of Osnabrück) are the "Internationale Römertage". More infos (even in Dutch) at
http://www.kalkriese-varusschlacht.de

18./19.06. in Xanten at the Archäologischer Park (Castra Vetera)
www.roemerfest-xanten.de

12.-14.08. in Trier (the oldest town in Germany, Augusta Treverorum), "Brot und Spiele", their homepage doesn't show much info up to now:
www.trier.de/brot-spiele

For me the most favorable place would be Kalkriese as this is the closet to Hamburg. I guess Locatus who's presently in Berlin agrees with that. I know for the rest of you would be Xanten a good choice.

If you are interested I would be willing to organize something like accomodation, if group tickets are available etc. I think it would be a great idea if we get to meet each other at an event like that. I await your comments...

Salve Locate,

Das Pergamon Museum kannst Du Dir doch jederzeit angucken. Diese Römerfeste finden ja nur an bestimmten Tagen statt.

Ich wollte ja auch unbedingt mal wieder nach Berlin. Ist das Pergamon Museum denn jetzt fertig umgebaut? Die waren da doch am renovieren und so.

Auf jeden Fall, ich bin nur in Berlin bis 13. März. Ich glaube dass für die Belgier Trier die einfachste Lösung ist.

Jo, das glaube ich auch.

Allerdings bin ich für die Idee :).

Brot und Spiele!

It would be nice to have such a meeting. As to where and when, I await further reactions.

Salvete,

All dates are rather difficult for me :

May : study time
June : exams
August : my birthday (right in the middle of the festival in Trier)

Salve Attice,

I think that would be a great occasion to celebrate your birthday. Mine is a couple of days earlier on August 5th, so we could have a birthday party at a Roman restaurant (if I'm not mistaken there is one in Trier also - I will check if we decide for Trier) ;-)

But are you guys sure that Trier is the most favorable for you? I thought Xanten would be closer. But maybe it's also a question of train connections etc.

Well, for me of course Osnabrück would be most favorable re place and time. But since I think it would be nice to meet I'd try to make it to any date on which we decide even if it's Trier right in the middle of the summer vacation in Hamburg where my co-workers with kids are gone. But because it's on a weekend I guess nobody would mind if I have either Friday or Monday off, two days with less staff would be OK.
