The Praetorian Guard Received a Witness
The Praetorian Guard Received a Witness In the year 59 C.E., the centurion Julius and his tired soldiers led a group of prisoners into Rome. They came into the city through the Porta Capena gate. On Palatine Hill they could see the palace of Emperor Nero, which was protected by Praetorian sol- diers armed with swords. (See footnote.) The prisoners walked by the Roman Forum and up Viminal Hill. They went past a gar- RMN-Grand Palais/Art Resource, NY den with many altars to Roman gods and then past a large area used for parades and military training. One of the prisoners was the apostle Paul. Some time earlier, during a storm at sea, an angel had told Paul: “You must stand be- fore Caesar.” (Acts 27:24) Paul might have been wondering if these words would soon come true. As he looked around at the city, he may have remembered what Jesus had told him at the Tower of Antonia in Jerusalem years earlier: “Be of good courage! For as you A carving of Praetorian soldiers have been giving a thorough witness on the things about me in Je- thought to be from the Arch of rusalem, so you must also bear witness in Rome.”—Acts 23:10, 11. Claudius, built in the year 51 Perhaps Paul looked at the Praetorian camp, called the Castra Praetoria. This was a large fortress with high red-brick walls and towers. It housed 12 cohorts of the Praetorian Guard and sever- al cohorts of the city’s police, including cavalry.

Nummer 3 (September)
REDACTIONEEL Beste collega’s Het schooljaar 2006-2007 is net van start gegaan en de drukte die dat meebrengt is nog niet geluwd. In naam van de raad van bestuur van de V.L.O.T. wens ik u veel voldoening in uw werk en veel plezier met uw leer- lingen. Ook de V.L.O.T. begint aan een nieuw werkjaar. De organisatie van twee traditionele activiteiten is volop bezig. Er is de wettelijk verplichte algemene vergadering in de maand maart, die over het algemeen eerder zakelijk is en weinig aantrekkelijk voor onze leden. In tegenstelling daarmee kende de studiedag van het voorbije jaar een groot succes en dat willen we natuurlijk graag evenaren. Hoewel het onderwerp op dit moment nog niet volledig bepaald is (ik schrijf dit in de maand juli ...), weten we toch al welke richting het zal uitgaan. In het onderwijslandschap neemt een leerkrachtenvereniging een eigen plaats in. Onderzoekers en professoren vertalen hun wetenschappelijke activiteiten en onderzoeken naar de leerkrachten toe en spijkeren zo onze vakkennis bij. Daar zijn ze heel goed in. Maar die kennis moet dan nog vertaald worden naar de leerlingen en de klaspraktijk, en dat is niet zo vanzelfsprekend. Verder le- vert de moderne samenleving veel aanknopingspunten voor de lessen Latijn en Grieks. Maar ook deze moe- ten verwerkt worden in en voor concrete lessen. Weer niet zo eenvoudig: men heeft tegelijk tijd, energie en inspiratie nodig. Ook met de invoering van de specifieke eindtermen duikt een voor de oude talen eerder nieuw element op: de eindtermen onderzoekscompetentie, die ervan uitgaan dat leerlingen op het einde van de derde graad ervaring hebben met het opzetten van een onderzoek(je) binnen het domein oude talen.

Siegfried Found: Decoding the Nibelungen Period
1 Gunnar Heinsohn (Gdańsk, February 2018) SIEGFRIED FOUND: DECODING THE NIBELUNGEN PERIOD CONTENTS I Was Emperor VICTORINUS the historical model for SIEGFRIED of the Nibelungen Saga? 2 II Siegfried the Dragon Slayer and the Dragon Legion of Victorinus 12 III Time of the Nibelungen. How many migration periods occurred in the 1st millennium? Who was Clovis, first King of France? 20 IV Results 34 V Bibliography 40 Acknowledgements 41 VICTORINUS (coin portrait) 2 I Was Emperor VICTORINUS the historical model for SIEGFRIED of the Nibelungen Saga? The mythical figure of Siegfried from Xanten (Colonia Ulpia Traiana), the greatest hero of the Germanic and Nordic sagas, is based on the real Gallic emperor Victorinus (meaning “the victorious”), whose name can be translated into Siegfried (Sigurd etc.), which means “victorious” in German and the Scandinavian languages. The reign of Victorinus is conventionally dated 269-271 AD. He is one of the leaders of the so-called Gallic Empire (Imperium Galliarum; 260-274 AD), mostly known from Historia Augusta (Thayer 2018), Epitome de Caesaribus of Aurelius Victor (Banchich 2009), and the Breviarum of Eutropius (Watson 1886). The capital city of this empire was Cologne, 80 km south of Xanten. Trier and Lyon were additional administrative centers. This sub-kingdom tried to defend the western part of the Roman Empire against invaders who were taking advantage of the so-called Crisis of the Third Century, which mysteriously lasted exactly 50 years (234 to 284 AD). Yet, the Gallic Empire also had separatist tendencies and sought to become independent from Rome. The bold claim of Victorinus = Siegfried was put forward, in 1841, by A.

The wings are forged from sheet of brass to be reduced the metal weight. Our wax work over the new Aquila. First we have created the wax separated segments which must fit together by leading pins.This allows us to control the thickness of the wax surfaces which has to be enough thick in order successful brass casting and at the same time not too thick and very heavy. Brass parts processed and ready for assembly. All parts fit perfectly to each other during assembly. From our participation.
