Trier Today – Calendar of Events

The largest and most certainly best-known Trier museum is the Archaeological Museum (Landedmuseum). No other museum in Germany informs so comprehensively about the civilization, economy, settlement, religion, and art of the first four hundred years of the common era.

The oldest traces of humans, burial goods from Celtic chieftains’ graves, and the finds from excavations of the La Tène Culture (since 450 BC) are exhibited. The major portion of the inventory comes from the Roman era. This collection is unique in its scale, diversity, and quality. Trier in Late Antiquity offers, besides precious objects, over 800 Early Christian burial inscriptions – a cornucopia to be found in no other museum north of the Alps.
The coin collection, primarily mintings by Trier mints from the Roman era and the Middle Ages, holds the most complete collection of mintings from Late Antiquity as well as numismatic documentation of mintings by Trier’s Electors.
