Named after a Roman tombstone, the Silius stone, which was found in the Dienheim area, the museum offers not only finds related to Roman history but also to Dienheim regional and local history.
A detailed reconstruction of the Roman tombstone, complemented by depictions of the original, as well as a copy of the Tabula Peutingeriana, a map of the Roman road network, and a model of a Roman road station, as well as reproductions of Roman weapons, armor, and helmets, are on display. Through historical documents, you also gain a vivid insight into local history. The exhibition also includes artisanal tin works as well as model steam engines and Stirling engines.
For children and families, there are special experiences: The museum regularly offers interactive events such as making Roman soldier bread (panis militaris) or exciting demonstrations with model steam engines and generators. Here, young and old visitors learn how electric current is generated.
