Restaurant guide Mainz
Maybe we can check this and see we we want to go when, so that we can make reservations?

Hello to everybody!
I wish you all a good time in Mainz and many interesting hours in the lessons and the museums. (I was interested in going there, too, but I will be in mainz the weekend before for the congress of student-associations of Archeological sciences, so there's unfortunately not enough time left.)
Concerning the RGZM there is to say that unfortunately the exhibition about parts of 12 new late roman helmets (3rd century, found in Koblenz 1988 and restored until now) ends on the 16.11. but there's still the publication available in the museum. There's another new publication of the museum about the decoration of weapons in the roman army, looks quite nice.
The prehistorical section with the celtic weapons etc. is unfortunately closed till 2012.
The Saalburg is daily opened (except monday), in november from 9.00-16.00, but it's still 55 km to drive from Mainz. The new buildings (two "streifenhäuser" in the vicus and the praetorium) were not ready this summer, the opening will be next year, so I think they won't be ready right now. But the museum is nice anyway. :-) )
So, have fun and enjoy your trip there!

Just recieved the newsletter and saw the bump for the conference. Count me in, so long as i can sweet talk the frau out of 60 euros tommorrow. Probably to be delivered via the paypal route.
I live near Darmstadt, which is relatively close to Mainz. Matter of fact i was up at the Romer-Germanisch Zentralmuseum (excuse any misspelling on my part there) week before last. Good times.
One question however: I haven't seen a definate timeline yet, such as link up times and places. Any further guidance here? When and wheres if you will. Come to think of it...what will the lecture topics be? Thanks in advance!
If i can be of any (granted, LATE) help in facilitating the conference, please 'gimmie a shout' as i am only a few minutes down the road from Mainz and the museums.

Hmmm, all so very interesting, but sadly all so far away for me. Frustrating

My group is still collecting the money from everyone and looking out for a cheap place to stay. We already have some options.
So just to say that we're still planning to come with about 10 persons.
Vale,

Instead of going to the Saalburg I think it might be more interesting to visit the exhibition
"Rome and the Barbarians" in Bonn. The exhibition was previously in Venice in the Palazzo Grassi, and was very sucessful.
What do you guys think?

Is it really necesarry to do such a long trip (165km single journey)? Is there not enough to do in Mainz and near vicinity to fill two days?
