2000 years ago Europe was unified by a political and military superpower, the Roman Empire – in the year 2006 A.D. Alfred Seiland starts working on his project Imperium Romanum. He studies the visible remains of Roman culture, architecture and art in our 21st century, starting in Rome, then Italy and soon after all over Europe and the Mediterranean. In a time where Europe seems to be in doubt about it’s most recent unification processes Seiland’s vision of the Roman Empire can serve as a mindmap of a cultural and political union.
