The 270th anniversary of Utrecht University in 1906 was commemorated in a grand manner with an impressive masquerade, a costumed procession through the city, and spectacular chariot races at the military training area on the Leidseweg. The 22-year-old student H.B. ver Loren van Themaat came up with the theme for this lustrum: 'The triumphal procession of Germanicus within Rome in 17 AD'.
