trip. exactly. i'm following the footsteps of the romans through germany and you get to come along. ah, i starting cologne, which was an important city even the roman times. i also follow the roman border fortifications lehman. 5 and i'll show you the reconstructed book roman forts. ah, ah, in ancient times, cologne was called colonial claudia augustine, in the, on the news houses, monumental buildings and a couple of st shape. the cityscape news

. today, the cologne cathedral towers above the metropolis as its principal landmark use remains from the roman era have been preserved in many places. right next to the cathedral is a part of the old city gate. for over 4 centuries, cologne played a vital part of the frontier of the roman empire. the leemis major empire state roads converged here from the south west and north. they carried goods, people and news from the whole world to the capital of the province of germania, inferior and today wrote still run where they were 1st laid out in ancient cologne . 2000 years ago,

this was one of the main axis of roman cologne. well, and today it's one of the most important shopping streets in the city. sure, like i said, are traces of the romans have also been found on the ryans opposite bank in the long diets. the outlines of afford the roman empire with huge and the romans made it very clear where the fear of influence begin. so they both forts and watch towers, and also used obvious natural landmarks such as the rhine. the around 2000 years ago, the roman empire stretched from the atlantic ocean to asia minor. and from africa to the north sea. part of the boulder ran along the river right up to $30000.00 soldiers was stationed on it, facing the germanic tribes. the west limits as the frontier is known,

began in rhineland, palatinate crossed, nor fried. westphalia, the netherlands, and ended at the north sea coast. in 2021. the germanic coast was named a world heritage site. in january 2020, the netherlands, and the german states, nor try and west failure and rhineland palatinate submitted a joint application to you and ask. as the wet lemurs have been added to, to frontier sections already named as well, heritage one is adrian war. and the aunt and i was in britain the other, the other germanic, and racine leemis. it begins south bombs and runs 550 kilometers. starting in right and book limits follows another river down you from the barrier through austria and finally to bulgaria. this section 2 is now on the list of applicants, t n. s a r

g in cologne. i drop by the romano germanic museum exhibits the archaeological heritage of the city and its myers with an emphasis on the roman iran staff member, the company. jessica shows me around me. hold on. hello was in fact the capital of the province care manya inferior. so it was the administrative center, the governor who administered the entire providence resided here, which is why cologne was so important. and this is where the very earliest romans came to live on the rhine. people came from all over the roman empire to live in this vibrant city on the rhine. for example,

this man from spain, though, why was it so important to him to have on the tombstone that he is or was a citizen of cologne? what about and often vaguely, had a huge wiggle. apparently he felt very much easier. franklin was, in fact, an attractive city and roman times. it had a flourishing economy. commerce was burgeoning, there were craftsman. you could make really good money here. you can see that he was a roman citizen by the ciocca in the technical roman robes he's wearing here. but not all the citizens of cologne ran around like fish. they looked a bit different here on the frontier, far away from rome. well, just come via. we can have a look at that over here. what do you notice? maybe a special head of the turban. it can also be the halo ending signs. i'm going to distance out. yes, it does look a bit like that too fast, but the idea about the hat was better given that this is what's known as an indian

bonnet, part of the cost of the native b and in particular married women. and in fact, the people of this area, including the romans, who moved here, adapt to the local climate in winter. it was cold and wet. so they didn't wear linen tunic, sex, my kind but thick will load and coats and maybe even trousers, even if they were seen as barbaric. but they kept you warm and then you would be wearing a tunic to make up his that mean that this is a mix of cultures the germanic and the roman. good. no other the precisely, the romans was very pragmatic. when they came across something they thought was a good idea. they adopted it on our tour at least on past or late the crafted glasses. i can hardly believe there are 2000 years old. this special cup is the most precious piece, and the collection alone was a major center of glass production. you got the materials they needed to make it

also found near by and that's what the romans lived in abundance and then traded very, very saw 100 with the c or the last 4 kits to plot for can not last below past. oh no, not the sandals but you comp whether or not these past few flag and flagpole apparently when it came to creativity, the romans were well ahead of their time. cologne is over 2000 years old, but there are even older cities here, for example, tree or captain or warrens, and they all claim the title of german. nice all the city. well. but who is right? the chair, captain of boobs. they'd all love to lay claim the title, germany's oldest city. the trick claims the

longest history as a roman city, as opposed to a military camp or settlement. ah true was called a ghost, a true. and for a century, a population of around $70000.00. it was the biggest city north of deals. it was even briefly, one of the capitals of the roman empire during the reign of emperor constantine. number of structures remain to bear witness to this golden age. the ports of negroes are black gate, for instance. when was the city actually founded? most sources mentioned italian around 1816 b. c. e. ah,

others with this to the coveted title of germany's oldest city on homes? the kansas published a settlement on the spot around 5000 to be later the romans are thought to have built 14 kenton, on the other hand, is the 1st town in germany to be mentioned in writing, in a book written by geography. first struggle in 18. see, can part of the romans called it was the administrative centre unseat of the governor of the roman province of racier. a couple of other german cities are quite old. both settlements as well. the question of germany's oldest city has yet to be answered. the conflicting opinions are often clued to play local patriotism and different criteria. but they

all have their long histories in common, posted by logical evidence. i left alone and trebled south for an hour to boil the point where the leemis branches off from the right. my destination is the roman world living museum. how heavy is a chain meal shirt, hours selling and trading done. here the visitors are invited to touch, take parts and try things out. of course, i can't resist. the visitors to the roman world can learn more about the location, origins and function of the ancient leanness. in ryan, lend the latin, made a reconstructive section of the wall trench and tell us

a fence. makes it easier to visualize. why was the leemis actually built? well, the romans tried to expand their empire to the north, but there were the students and instead of waiting endless battles against them, they drew a line. the leemis, the romans suffered enormous losses and what became known as the various disaster in the year 9 back then. 20000 soldiers died in the universe forest and you can still find traces of these battles today. ah, the the me

quintilian bars give me back. my legions, emperor augustus is said to have cried out when he was told his general virus had lost 3 entire legions, along with 6 auxiliary cohorts in the battle of toil, book forrest, the attackers were germanic rebels, commanded by minis. according to ancient historians, the slaughter went on for several days on a field, many kilometers long. but where exactly did this fateful battle take place? the most likely site is one found your kite caesar, north of us, no. research on the battle known as the varian disaster has been going on here for 30 years. not only as cakes, these fascinating and excavations, but an archaeological monument and museum the

several markers in the open air give a broad overview of the course of the battle. the park is over 20 hector's in area. the steel plates mark the romans march along a narrow path between the woods and the more its still unknown. what took place here what is known is that after losing this battle, the roman forces withdrew to the western banks. of ryan, sporadic for rays were made into germania for another 7 years. but the romans lacked the infrastructure and the germanic tribes. gorilla style attacks more of them down. eventually the romans gave up and fortified their existing boarders. ah, germany salinas wrote one of the countries many holy. the roots picks up in boy

it traces the former roman frontier for 700 kilometers riggins for on the danube. i followed stretch it round science like this point. it's a way as an app with either an interactive map or a brochure is helpful for quickly locating the archaeological digs. the reconstruction museum such as the lameness tower and his site over the over lloyd. i'm look a stig, mom cannot log off to you today. i would use antonio, antonio cloud doing us wonderful of the li, misty to wholeness, as they are called gift tourists at the various li miss sites. manfred,

co blow has been showing visitors around in his shop for over 10 years now. what was the exact function of the dollar toward movies and everybody to him from the towers they kept watch on the leemis with the border between the roman empire and germany and the lot they always had the town surroundings in view. if someone approached with hostile intent, i could give a signal from the town than half an hour from tom, although i couldn't have done it with a mirror, it has sun was bitten, polished, brass would have done the job. i still put it as missing. that's why the tubers hanging here, that is a toolbar here. if it was foggy, they could have given a signal with this on atlanta at night, with a torn with fire. bitten for your time. can i try to try it? it was just harder to me.

i couldn't do it, but didn't load us until new minutes. oh, now we have it sounds like an elephant. and claudia is antonius had another surprise in store for me? a little more they told me this is the more i told you. it's a cheese pace made from sheep's cheese mixed with herbs. intended. okay, good. i will try. they are gonna load up properly of delicious glow. it's super delicious all difficult and now comes to move some wine beverage. the romans enjoined. montgomery, we've taken aperitif today with an apple. the teeth clean comes in it is you make this dinner that this might take

a liter riesling wine sling at 200 grams of honey to it at a knife tip of pepper. and then i let that steep for a while on the y fi pour that told you the news was a and also delicious. next to the tower, a roman garden has been recreated. this is a roman sundial. also the romans like to drink wine. and this is what a roman herb garden could have looked like. i pressed on to the hill side, leemis passed. it leads to a little forward with earthworks and the palisades face. the foundations have been reconstructed to show the ruins. ah. can you imagine how it used to look here?

well, i can, in any case, many reconstructions have been made and not only along the limits. there are traces of the romans in many places in germany, for example, in sar land a whole villa with reconstructed there. and turned into an archaeological open air museum. well, take a look at that. ah, ah, this is how the privileged romans of the province is once lived in the country. dinners with well manicured gardens, those a floors and all the amenities the ancient world had to offer the best place to get an impression of this life is the village bog. a roman country estate near pal in silence. most of the valley. it was meticulously reconstructed, a top the original ruins,

the only one of its kind in the worlds. in the 4 years, the head of the house, the dominant, receives his guests. characteristic are the coffin, ceilings, frescoes and half columns. decorating the ruse at one time the entire whole most likely had most de flows. ah, of course the village also had a roman boss with addressing when cold and hot boss and a kind of sitting room kept darien. everything together would have been quite effective. it's impressing friends and business partners. good food was every bit as essential to the roman lifestyle. as these 30 courses might be served up at a banquet,

prepared and kitchen like this one thing who did such eccentric dishes as the mingo towns and hazel mice. ah, normally in none pandemic times, the roman days would have been held at the village, august complete with market and gladiator battle. ah, ah, took out some of our favorite travel picks on instagram, followers on dw, travel the know back to the li miss wrote me a site to see is the reconstruct. romans i booked for to near frankfort. me archeologist and gardner shows me

around the premises. i've seen that, you know, look pretty much the way we had right now, didn't it? roughly i, this is sean baton is not run by. it's very close to it, but we're dealing with 2 different time periods for the reconstruction. a large part of the buildings were put up around 1900 and then another 2 complexes went up after 20001000. and of course, the state of research from 190-0100 was very different from 2014. and so the proposals for reconstruction are also different through the course. in the course of time, we've simply made new discoveries. i couldn't think of 100 in ancient times, 600 men were stationed here as a border patrol. they lived in these barracks, the men, the company quarters are secured with a roman lock, well known as a lock and sliding bolt. and now you see, if you can get it open of my song,

you don't lose your patience long and sliding bolt. i can't do it, i give up as you hold it like this is true and s light is 1st in here, then you turn it in. so the bit points in this direction site then you lift it up and you pull it over. you go out a little lock catches a little very hot on and then it's open still. all right, and you go and i should have 8 men ones. share it this little 2 room apartment, 3 minutes. now we're entering the basilica, the great hall, and that's the part of the print keep the staff building in the center for. i know

it's a large open hall where the entire company could assemble for celebration event handler or just for drill on wet rainy days. we were sitting on the subject of drills, it's about time i had to look at the arms and learn some roman combat techniques. first fear throwing then archery, sort of the month. so the 1st thing we do is spread the bowstring onto the boat. martin, this isn't him, and this is how we do it. often it takes a little strength. we use a little trailing in climb into the bow fun and property behind our legs, and so we can slip the bowstring onto the limited in our guy and feeding it looks easier than it is, but after several attempts, i've got it and we can get started does that look legionary? don't hold it too long. you'll get cramps ah done

booth. and what would legionaries training be without sword fighting customization? corruption. in fact, they would train using wicker shields instead of the proper one and wouldn't sort this be their heavier than the real ones. so they made for wonderful training because of course, you'd build up more muscles strength and enduring. and you'd last longer and battle thing came from congressman and you don't get hurt. you know exactly the like to give up on a oh, damage damaged. yes. yeah. the here at the saga, my search for traces is over and i would say mission accomplish. i learned a lot and i hope you there too. so see you next time and as the room and say well
