Quote:Hi Jona, any change that Marco will join us again?Better check your dad's car, because Marco's appointments are usually until the very last moment rather iffy. As you know, he is a cameraman for the TV news. (D-mn, I wanted to go to the cinema with him tonight, but some stupid politician had to say something to the world again. On Friday evening, for Pete's sake. evil: )
Quote:Will there be much in the way of lectures/talks?I have not counted the number of lectures, but the quality was -during the two previous meetings- higher than some of us had expected. The main attraction of Mainz will be each others company, of course. Besides, there are many museums:
* Landesmuseum (sculpture and inscriptions);
* Museum für antike Schifffahrt (ships and navigation);
* Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum (general);
* Museum Castellum (bridgehead on the east bank) (only on Sunday);
* Roman Theater.
* Cenotaph of Drusus.
* Temple of Isis.

Mainz is probably the most Roman city north of the Alps.
