He guys,
on the next march I will be in The Netherland for some days, I know over there several roman muesums are available, but I'm not sure what is possible to see. I know there are in Leiden, Nijmegen, and then, not far in Germany, Haltern Am See.
Is there anybody who has informations? I would like to know what are the best in that area concerning roman military stuff.
Thanks
Marco

Hi,
well, the most important collections in the Netherlands are in the Rijksmuseum voor oudheden (Leiden) and museum het valkhof (Nijmegen). Another museum worth a visit is the Allard Pierson museum in Amsterdam.
Over the border by Nijmegen you can visit Haltern, but Xanten is shorter to Nijmegen, and has a wonderful newly built museum. Other nice museums in the German border area are Cologne and even a bit further away Bonn.

All museum I've listed have interesting military items. If your English is okay, and I've some spare time, it would be nice to meet in Nijmegen for a visit to the Valkhof. I can also show you the sites of the different encampements nearby.
I know there are some tours in Nijmegen area along roman 'spots' as well as a tour along the Limes. Have to look it all up, though. You can always ask the local tourist office.

I would jump at Jurjens offer if I was you Marcos, he will prbably know a lot more than an official tour guide....(I could be wrong though :wink: )

In Woerden there is a very nice but small museum (Stadsmuseum Woerden) which contains finds from Roman fort of Laurium.
Best regards,

Thank you very much everybody :-D actually a fair bunch of friends! This is one of the best thing in RAT, everybody is willing to help each other, sadly not so in the life.
Jurjen, of course I'm honoured if you can help me, my english is not indeed superstar but enough. According forum's rules, I guess our talk must be now switched on PM, so I'm going to write to you there about our meeting.
Jona, your list is very interesting, although sadly some link is not working.
