Sanctuary Of Isis And Magna Mater, Mainz
The Sanctuary of Isis and the Magna Mater was a sanctuary in Mainz, dedicated to Isis and Magna Mater. The temple was founded during the 1st century and remained active until at least the 3rd century. Its remains were discovered in late 1999, during construction of a shopping arcade (later named "Römerpassage") in the city centre. Substantial excavations have been made at the site since. The remains of the building, selected finds, and a multimedia framework presentation can be viewed in a small museum in the basement of the Römerpassage. Consecration inscriptions suggest that the Flavian imperial house may have been involved in the foundation of the sanctuary. Historical background Roman Mainz was founded as the legionary ''castrum'' of Mogontiacum on the Mainz Kästrich, a hill above the Rhine valley, in 13/12 B.C..

Roman Theatre (Mainz)
The Roman Theatre in Mainz, Rhineland Palatinate (ancient ''Mogontiacum'') was excavated in the late 1990s. It is located immediately next to the Mainz Römisches Theater station and was once the largest Roman theatre north of the Alps, with a diameter of 116 metres, a stage-width of 42 metres, and a capacity of roughly ten thousand people. History Mogontiacum owed its significance to its location at the meeting point of the Main and the Rhine. The city provided a convenient base for the defense of the nearby border of the Roman empire, the ''limes'', and for the organisation of military campaigns against the Germani. As a result, a double legionary camp was built on the site in 13/12 BC, which remained in place until some time after AD 350. Over time a civilian settlement (Latin ''vicus'') also developed on the site, which became the provincial capital of the newly created province of Germania Superior around AD 80. In this city, a Roman theatre was built, which was probabl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
