A Find that Makes the Roman Era Tangible

A look into the moat of the facility at Blöskopf near Bad Ems opens an exciting chapter of regional history: in 2019, well-preserved wooden spears were discovered that once served as obstacles to approach. The exhibition scientifically contextualizes this find and showcases other objects from the excavations to the public for the first time. This is precisely what makes the appeal of this format: it is not an abstract museum topic, but a direct window into the military and settlement history of the Middle Rhine.
