Excerpt from Lyon in der Römerzeit: Vortrag, Gehalten zu Gunsten des Lesevereines der Deutschen Studenten Wiens, am 8. März 1878
Nur ein liebevolles und bis ins kleinste Detail ein dringendes Studium der Monumente, wie es seit einiger Zeit in Frankreich mit fast zu grossem Eifer gepflegt wird, kann bis zu einem gewissen Grade die Frage lösen, welche Zuge in dem auf den ersten Blick schein bar römischen Gemälde als nationale zu betrachten sind. Es ist eine nicht verachtliche Aufgabe der vielbe spöttelten Provinzialarchäologie, unter dem fremdartigen Bewurfe den heimischen Untergrund aufzudecken und die in jedem Lande verschiedenen Schattirungen der römischen Cultur nachzuweisen. In der Geschichte der römischen Städte auf fremdem Boden spiegelt sich dieser eigenthiimliche Vermischungsprocess deutlich wieder, und so darf vielleicht der Versuch gerechtfertigt er scheinen, ein Bild der vornehmsten Stadt, nicht allein fialliens, sondern des romischen Nordens überhaupt, des alten Lugudunum zu entwerfen.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed examination of the city of Lugudunum, a prominent Roman city situated at the confluence of the Rhone and Saà ne rivers. The narrative predominantly centers around the era between the city's founding in 43 BC and its decline in the third century AD. Through meticulous exploration of archeological remains and historical records, the author elucidates Lugudunum's remarkable development into one of the most significant urban hubs in Roman Gaul. The author harnesses epigraphic evidence to shed light on the city's inhabitants, daily life, economy, and religious practices. It underscores the city's role as a flourishing commercial center and explores the profound influence of Roman culture on the region's inhabitants. Moreover, the book delves into the presence of the imperial cult and the resulting religious landscape in Lugudunum. The author argues that Lugudunum played a pivotal role in Roman Gaul, serving as a bridge between the Latinized south and the Celtic north. The author contends that this strategic positioning enabled the city to assimilate Roman culture while preserving its unique Gallic heritage, resulting in a vibrant and distinctive urban environment. This book offers a comprehensive portrayal of Lugudunum's transformation from a military outpost to a flourishing metropolis and its subsequent decline. It is an invaluable resource for understanding the complexities of Roman provincial life and the enduring legacy of the Roman Empire's influence in shaping European history.
