At Jupiter!: Roman History Comes Alive in Mainz

At Jupiter! A Roman Woman Brings the Stone Hall to Life

At the Landesmuseum Mainz, Roman history becomes an entertaining encounter: In the costume tour At Jupiter!, Dr. Judith König appears as the Roman woman Aurelia. As the wife of the Roman governor of the province of Upper Germania, she takes guests on an enjoyable discovery journey through the stone hall.

Roman Mainz with Wit and Historical Insight

For an hour, Aurelia chats about the exhibits and opens surprising windows into the past. Sea monsters, household slaves, muted flamingos, and even boils become starting points for stories from Roman everyday life. The tour combines lively performance with solid communication and makes local history immediately tangible.

In the Footsteps of Mogontiacum

The focus is on the significant Roman garrison and provincial capital of Mogontiacum, ancient Mainz. The Stone Hall preserves testimonies of the region's cultural heritage and provides the perfect setting for an experience of the city and museum between archaeology, architecture, and everyday history. Aurelia's perspective brings the historical objects unusually close and vivid.

Small Group, Intense Encounter

The number of participants is limited to a maximum of 15 people. This creates a personal atmosphere in which the costume tour unfolds its special effect: historical details, pointed narratives, and the atmosphere of the museum spaces combine to offer cultural enrichment for Mainz visitors, history enthusiasts, and curious explorers.
