The series Mainzer Zeitschrift is published by the antiquity-association of Mayence. This Yearbook of Archaeology, Art and History is published periodically since 1845 and enjoys an excellent national and international reputation, which is also shown by the fact that scientific institutes and libraries from Moscow to New York belong to its subscribers. With this magazine the antiquity-association offers archaeologists and historians of all ages and disciplines a forum for the publication of articles dealing with the middle Rhine history, especially the history of the city of Mayence, its relationships and long-range structures, as well as with the people who shaped this history.
