| Scriba's Page The mission of the Scriba Germaniae Inferioris is to gather all information concerning Roman Culture, Events, Musea, Monuments in the province. I took up the mission of Senator Marcus Minucius Audens and hope to make this a 'living' page, always growing. Concretely I gather data from the Netherlands, Flanders and Brussels. If you have any information that can be of use to this page, feel free to send an email to scriba Caius Cornelius Puteanus. As for now, most of the pages are in Dutch, the language of our province. Caput I: Musea Koninklijke Musea voor Kunst en Geschiedenis (Royal Museum for Art and History) The museum has a collection of Roman antiquities and disposes of an Imperial Roma, rebuilt on scale, that is very famous. You can see where the forum was, what temples were built, etc. Museum van de Nationale Bank van Belgi� (Museum of the National Bank of Belgium) This museum disposes of a small collection of Roman coins and gives you an overview of the development of money within our society, from the Roman as and sestertius to present day euro. Taxandriamuseum This is a regional museum east of Antwerp, with a small prehistorical and qntique collection, but also with a lot of information about the development of the area afterwards. Provinciaal Gallo-Romeins Museum (Provincial Gallo-Roman Museum) This is one of the famoust musea related to Roman and Celtic heritage in the Netherlands. Tongeren is the city of the Tungri, the people of Ambiorix, part of the Belgae. The Belgae fought Caesar and were one of his bravest enimies. Present day Tungri honoured this glorious past with a rich museum. Certainly worth a visit is the special collection brought together in the exposition "Asterix and Europe" about our little Gallic hero Asterix. With an overview of the military and daily life of Romans and Gallic tribes, with musical instruments from that period etc. Bijbels Openluchtmuseum (Biblical Open Air Museum) This museum concentrates on open air recreation of different elements in Biblical history. There is a villa of Pontius Pilatus, Propraetor during the reign of the emperor Tiberius (about 783 auc). Prehistorisch Openluchtmuseum Eindhoven (Prehistorical Open Air Museum Eindhoven) This museum begins with the earliest history of mankind, but reaches till the Iron Age (they let this age end in the Netherlands about 800 auc). For the last period, the Germano-Celtic age, there are some records of relations with the Romans. It is of course important to see what 'Barbarians' the Romans encountered when they occupied this country. Rijksmuseum voor Oudheden (State Museum of Antiquities) This is one of the most famous institutes in our Provincia. They dispose of a rich collection of Greek, Roman, Egyptian and other antiquities. The website gives a good overview of the collection and temporary expositions. Available in English. Museum Het Valkhof Museum in Noviomagus/Nijmegen with a large collection of Roman archeological items. Certainly worth a visit! Caput II: Reenactment Groups This is a short list of organizations I know of, being engaged in reenactment activities. Please feel free to inform me about other such organisms. Quintus is a reenactment group interested in the history of the Roman Army. The homepage explains pretty clearly what they are up to! Legio Gemina is another reenactment group stressing on the military accent. Omnia is something different, they are a group of artist that bring "what Roman citizens liked" as they say themselves: gladiatorfights, musical shows and religious rituals. Religio Romana has become a second nature to them. Unfortunately their services or shows are not for free... mee ab Caput III: Provincial Nova Roma cives with a personal home page Marcus Octavius Solaris, offers poetry on his own website! Tiberius Apollonius Callias, fascinated by the chtonic gods, offers a good overview of different pagan religious expertiences, Asatru, Greek, Roman, etc. Tiberius Apollonius Cicatrix, fascinated by Roman history offers a good overview of Roman history, religion and daily life. Unfortunately only available in Dutch... Octavia Cassia already registered her domain name, but is currently working on her website. Soon to be visited! Caius Maecius Ingenuus' main intrest is the Roman army. He gathers a lot of interesting information and links on his site. Caius Puteus Germanicus, Scriba Provinciae Germaniae Inferioris and Rogator, created his own webpage with a bit of information about his beliefs and engagement in Nova Roma. next >> ---Contact --- |
