Navigare necesse est. Congresso DEGUWA a Manching, dal 15 marzo

Sarà Manching, nel cuore della Baviera, la sede destinata ad ospitare dal prossimo 15 marzo il congresso annuale DEGUWA (Deutsche Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Unterwasserarchäologie), destinato a storici ed archeologi subacquei di tutta Europa. La piccola località bavarese, sviluppatasi sui resti di un insediamento celtico e poi romano, è stata selezionata per il suo ricco patrimonio archeologico; tra le evidenze più interessanti messe in luce negli ultimi anni, il 'pezzo forte' è sicuramente rappresentato dalla coppia di navi militari, rinvenute nel distretto di Oberstimm, dove le legioni di Roma avevano un accampamento stabile. Il più grande tesoro di oro dei Celti mai scoperto al mondo è invece un residuo dei precedenti abitatori della regione.

Il congresso 2013 sarà concentrato sulle tematiche legate al rifornimento di cibo, armi e beni per Roma e per i suoi territori. Riportiamo di seguito il programma dettagliato degli interventi.
