....been there today .....
.....ahemmmm ....wellllll ....... :?:
I can't fight the impression that it is an "a bit toned-down" version of the Original at Palazzo Grassi.
hock:
Compared to "Constantinus Maximus" at Trier and
"Die Hunnen" at Speyer I'd say that I'd clearly like the latter two a bit better. :roll:
Maybe I should refrain from visiting exhibitions covering Late Antiquity in Central Europe for a certain span of time. :wink:
Some of the exhibited parts looked somewhat too familiar to me.
The Catalogue, however seems to be well made at first impression.
On this occasion I acquired "Rainer Wiegels - Die Varusschlacht--Wendepunkt der Geschichte". This is the second publications on that subject that I bought. (The first one : Wolfgang Schlüter --Römer Im Osnabrücker Land" -- published in 1993 --- no hype yet at that time !!)
You see I easily get detracted from a more specific report on my visit
at "Rom Und Die Barbaren" :wink:
For now
