Their employment in cult, triumphs and the military domain is studied, as well as the development of a particular oak wreath, the so-called corona civica, into the imperial wreath par...

Der Band dokumentiert eine Wanderausstellung, die im Rahmen des Jahres der Mathematik 2008 in sieben deutschen Stadten gezeigt wird. Die Ausstellung fuhrt die Tatigkeit judischer Mathematiker in Deutschland von der rechtlichen und politischen Gleichstellung judischer Burger im 19.
