Roman society in the shadow of the military camps
Location: Archäologisches Museum der Stadt Kelheim (Archaeological Museum of the City of Kelheim)
A Roman soldier’s service lasted 25 years – an extremely long time by today’s standards. And yet, for many, it was well worth it: veterans were rewarded with citizenship, a bonus, and the payout of a portion of their pay that had been set aside for them. And the right to marry. (Don’t worry, nobody waited that long...)
And so, a colourful and diverse civilian society developed around the military camps along the Limes, which Veronika Zimmermann-Hofmaier M.A. will describe to us in more detail in her lecture.
