Frontiers of the Roman Empire: The Lower German Limes
The Roman frontier in Lower Germany was one of the earliest to be created; surviving into the early 5th century, it illustrates the whole range of Roman military installations. The Rhine delta boasts incredible organic remains including ships while upstream are great military bases supported by forts and fortlets.
Limits of Empire
The borders of the Roman Empire were frontiers that were often wild and dangerous. The expansion of the empire after the Punic Wars saw the Roman Republic become the dominant force in the Mediterranean as it first took Carthaginian territories in Gaul, Spain and north Africa and then moved into Greece with purpose, subjugating the area and creating two provinces, Achaea and Macedonia. The growth of the territories under Roman control continued through the rise of Julius Caesar – who conquered the rest of Gaul – and the establishment of the empire: each of the emperors could point to territories annexed and lands won.

Andere Ästhetik meets Andere Ästhetik
Ausgehend von der kulturellen Relevanz, welche antiken Artefakten in der Frühen Neuzeit zukam, widmet sich der interdisziplinäre Band jenen druckgraphischen Werken, die ab dem 16.

Aus einer archäologisch-kunsthistorischen Perspektive fokussieren die Autor:innen gezielt jene komplexen ästhetischen Strategien der Druckgraphiken, in denen sich in einem dynamischen Spannungsfeld von Vergangenheit und Gegenwart, von ‚Eigenem‘ und ‚Fremdem‘ sowie von Imagination und Wirklichkeit das historische Wechselverhältnis zwischen Formen der Identitätsstiftung und der künstlerischen Praxis manifestiert. In diesem Kontext analysieren die Beiträge exemplarisch sowohl die unterschiedlichen Strategien der Visualisierung nordalpiner Antiken als auch die differenzierten Prozesse ihrer Transformation und programmatischen Aneignung.
