Super spannende Rezension zu einem Buch, das erstmals die Geschichte Skandinaviens als Region am Rande des Imperiums rekonstruiert. Man erfährt die coolsten Dinge & wird schlauer was Methodologie für so prä-schreibende Kulturen angeht. Und ja: Eisbären im Kolosseum.

I finally managed to visit the #Archaeological #Museum of #Frankfurt again, and this time I was able to see the recently discovered #Christian amulet presented one year earlier. I've updated my post on the amulet with some photos I took during my visit. The amulet is now part of the permanent collection. If you are in the city, I highly recommend visiting it.
