摘要：In the year 9 A.D., the German
chieftain Arminius inflicted an overwhelming
defeat on a Roman army
of three legions, with auxiliaries, cavalry,
and hangers-on, commanded by
Publius Quinctilius Varus. The two
thousandth anniversary of the year in
which this decisive battle occurred will
be commemorated in 2009, from May to
September, by a significant exhibition
offered at three sites, the individual
themes of which are represented by the
title of the project. IMPERIUM will
consider Rome’s expansion as an
empire, its undertakings in and against
the free Germans, and the career and
position of the governor, Varus. KONFLIKT
will focus upon the battle itself,
with the battlefield as the centerpiece.
MYTHOS will trace the development
of the Arminius myth, from historical
person to symbolic figure, over a span of
some three and a half centuries. The
first part will occur in Haltern am See,
the second in Kalkriese, the third in
Detmold (see Fig. 9). This grand enterprise
has been honored by the official
patronage of Germany’s chancellor, Dr.
Angela Merkel
