In collaboration with the Landschaftsverband Rheinland (Rhineland Regional Association) and Archaeological Park/Regional Museum of Xanten. Gotter & Kulte is a richly illustrated guide to the religious beliefs of Germania Inferior based on the region's archaeological and architectural remains, especially in the Roman city of Colonia Ulpia Traiana and in the Augustan military base of Vetera.
