Trier fascinates everyone interested in the Romans. Visitors
encounter Antiquity at every turn in the city, once one of the
largest Roman settlements. Nowhere else in Germany can the
Roman era be experienced so authentically. The ancient buildings, which this year will celebrate 30 years as a UNESCO
World Heritage Site, are the perfect location for the cultural
highlight of 2016.

Gold coin with
Nero’s portrait
Today, the emperor is associated primarily with extravagance, megalomania and
cruelty. It is the last years
of Nero’s reign that have
characterized today’s image
of the tyrant, persecutor of
Christians and arsonist. This
image dates as far back as the
writings of ancient authors
such as Tacitus and Suetonius,
members of the aristocracy
whose way of thinking was
anathema to Nero.
Current research results,
however, appear to paint the
emperor in a different light.
Indeed, Nero was extremely
Portrait of Agrippina minor
popular among his subjects
for much of his reign. The
exhibition shows his rise as
successor to the throne, his
reign, his violent end and, also,
why Nero’s image has been
marked by negative aspects
to this day. Additionally, the
evaluation of his traditional
portrayal and the representation of the persecutions of the
Christians vividly documents
the reception history surrounding Nero’s person up to
the recent past.

Three museums in Trier, the
largest Roman city north of the
Alps, will focus on the controversial emperor. With altogether
over 21,500 ft² and with more
than 700 exhibits, the exhibitions will provide an exciting
insight into Nero’s personality,
his era and the tradition of his
portrayal.
