RAT Conference 2013 - Location Discussion - caiusbeerquitius - 03-06-2012
After the conference is before the conference.
Regensburg
I suggest Regensburg and am willing to organize.
Short trips would / could be:
Künzing,
Straubing,
Alternatively I could organize a three to four day bus trip along the Raetian limes.

Adding to the list above:
We also could perhaps go to Weltenburg for a beer:

Alternative spot- Oxford ( I can try an organise college accomodation). Nearby museums- Ashmolean http://www.ashmolean.org/ and the mildly bonkers Pitt Rivers museum http://www.prm.ox.ac.uk/
I've got links with the Late Antiquity side and the Archaeology.
Nearby sites
-North Leigh Roman villa
-Dorchester on Thames (excavations this Summer)
Cheers

Well, why not Regensburg for 2013 and Oxford for 2014?

Sounds good!

I also have an idea for quite some time but didn't actually want post it before the current conference but anyhow, since this discussion started:
I suggest Bad Dürkheim and region including visit to the museum in Speyer. In Bad Dürkheim are several Roman places sucht as:
* Roman vineyard Ungstein:
http://www.bad-duerkheim.de/html/Bildung_Kultur_und_Freizeit/Kultur/Roemisches_Weingut_Weilberg.htm
* Roman quarry:
http://www.bad-duerkheim.com/sehenswuerdigkeiten-freizeit/roemersteinbruch.html
* Villa rustica Wachenheim
http://www.villa-rustica-wachenheim.de/
* Museum Haus Catoir
http://www.kreis-bad-duerkheim.de/wTourismus/sites/museen/heimatmuseum_haus_catoir_bad_duerkheim.php
* Historical Museum Speyer
http://www.museum.speyer.de/
If you guys vote for Bad Dürkheim I would do the organizing. Although I don't live in that region I had been there twice with my ex-boyfriend for vacation.

Re: RAT Conference 2013 - Location Discussion - caiusbeerquitius - 03-12-2012
Alternatively I could organize a four-day bus trip along the Raetian limes. Nights at youth hostels. What do you think?

Re: RAT Conference 2013 - Location Discussion - Medusa Gladiatrix - 03-24-2012
What do you guys think, esp. the admins/mods, if we make out of the several suggestions in this thread a poll so everyone could vote what they favor most? Is it possible to add a poll now?

Well, it seems that untill now every location we tried to have a conference, which hasn't a big local community of RAT-members didn't seem to work (Augst had to be cancelled and in Ljubljana only 3 RAT-members where present). So, I would better suggest we choose a location where we can be more sure about numbers to attend. (E.G. Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium or UK)
Re: RAT Conference 2013 - Location Discussion - Gaius Julius Caesar - 03-24-2012
I was kidding....but it would be a handy place to dispose of the rowdy attendees....heh heh
I would love to visit any of the places mentioned already.
So much to see, so little time.
i think the poll is a good idea. Some great options mentioned.
