A Find that Makes History Tangible

At the center is the scientific discovery of wooden spears in the ditch of a Roman site at Blöskopf near Bad Ems. The research result was achieved in 2019 as part of a joint project by Goethe University Frankfurt and the State Archaeology Koblenz. Visitors thus experience not only objects but also the exciting journey from excavation to public presentation.
