Autorenlesung: das römische Germanien, Köln und das Praetorium im historischen Roman mit Michael Kuhn und Prof. Dr. Sebastian Ristow

In the organizer's words:

The historian, author and publisher Michael Kuhn reads passages from his historical novel "Marcus - Tribune of Rome".

The year is 356 AD. In recent years, Frankish and Alemannic raiders have crossed the Rhine, smashed the border armies and conquered Cologne, the capital of the province of Lower Germania. Marcus Junius Maximus, recently appointed tribune, leads his troops through the Hunsrück to the Rhine. Unexpectedly, he finds himself embroiled in a major political scandal: the usurpation of Emperor Silvanus of Cologne and his assassination after just 28 days.

Great history is written in his presence as Caesar Julian sets off on his triumphal march and reclaims the border on the Rhine for the empire one last time.
