Marc Aurel - Landesausstellung 2025
The city of Trier is preparing for the visit of the Emperor. Everything is in the sign of the large national exhibition on the theme of Emperor Marc Aurel. Roman emperor and philosopher Marcus Aurelius is considered the epitome of a good ruler. Yet what was the life of the man whose “Meditations” later became world literature actually like? Who was he, what shaped him, and what is the ideal picture of a good ruler? After the huge success of the exhibitions on Constantine the Great (2007), Nero (2016) and the Fall of the Roman Empire (2022), the UNESCO city of Trier is once again inviting visitors to a captivating regional exhibition: this time focusing on Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius (121–180 AD). His reign in the 2nd century AD was scarred by wars. Today, however, he is known above all as the emperor of philosophy, and his actions were characterised by a sense of duty and selflessness. There will be an accompanying volume for both parts of the exhibition. These will be available from June 2025.
