The Roman antiquity connected people and regions through waterways. But why were ships built? How did trade networks emerge? What infrastructure was necessary, and what impact did mobility have on people and the world? What traces did it leave back then – and which remain to this day?
The Mainz Roman ships, models of ancient boats, trade goods, stone monuments, and many other objects provide answers to these questions in our new exhibition. They open a "space for experiencing the past" and invite reflection on the people of that time – and on ourselves.
Note: The exhibition is currently closed and is being modernized with funds from the federal and state governments as part of the Leibniz Association's action plan for research museums. It will open in late autumn 2026.
