. dense houses. monumental buildings and cobbled streets shaped the cityscape to day the cologne cathedral towers above the metropolis. as its principal landmark remains from the roman erupt have been preserved in many places. right next to the cathedral is a part of the old city gate for over 4 centuries cologne plate, a vital part on the frontier of the roman empire. the leemis major empire state. what's converged here from the south west and north. they carried goods. people at

news from the whole world to the capital of the province of germania, inferior and to date, wrote still run where that 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. shall agatha traces of the romans have also been found on the rights opposite bank in colon voids the outlines of a fort the roman empire was huge and the romans made it very clear where their sphere of influence began. so they both forests and watch towers, and also used obvious natural landmarks such as the rhine ah. around 2000 years ago, the roman empire stretched from the atlantic ocean to asia, mina,

and from africa to the north sea. part of the border ran along the river right up to $30000.00 soldiers was stationed on it, facing the germanic tribes. the wet, slim as, as the frontier is known, began in rhineland, palatinate crossed north rind, westphalia, and the netherlands, and ended at the north sea coast. in 2021. this part of the li mess the former roman border fortifications was to clad a unesco welled heritage site. the wet lemurs has been added to 2 frontier sections already named as wild heritage sites. one is hadrian war and the anti war in britain, the other, the upper germanic, and racine lea mess it begins south of foam and runs 550 kilometers.

starting in haden's blocks the limb as follows. another river, the danube, from bavaria through austria. and finally, to bulgaria, they sanction is also a unesco welled heritage site since 2021 ah ah. in cologne, i drove by the romano germanic museum. it exhibits the archaeological heritage of the city and its environs with an emphasis on the roman iran staff member captain. jessica shows me route with that. what role de cologne lee, good as cologne was, in fact, the capital of the province. good man. yeah, inferior. so it was the administrative center, the governor who administered the entire province 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, vo. 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 ziegler had as a his, if wiggle, apparently he felt very much at ease here and cologne 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. i wish i baba, you can see that he was a roman citizen by the toga, active troop of the typical roman robes he's wearing here in the buddha. but not all the citizens of cologne ran around like this. they looked a bit different here on the frontier, far away from rome or death. come via, we can have a look at that over here. what do you notice here?

maybe a special helen, a turban. it can also be a halo hennings online. and then i was even busy and the hours is tough. yes, it does look a bit like that too fast, but the idea about the hat was better moving. this is what's known as an indian bonnet, part of the cost you of the native booby. and in particular of married women, and in fact, the people of this area, including the romans who moved here adapted to the local climate in winter. it was cold and wet, so they didn't wear linen tunics excellent kindly, but thick wool lowden coats and maybe even trousers, even if they were seen as barbaric, barbaric. but they kept you warmer than he would be wearing a tunic on a 20 capex. does that mean that this is a mix of cultures the germanic and the roman? good. now, as it is precisely the romans were very pragmatic. when they came across something they thought was a good idea. they adopted it open on our tour leads on past or in lately crafted glasses. i can hardly believe there are 2000 years old.

this special cup is the most precious piece in the collection. cro cologne was a major center of glass production. he got his, almost all the materials they needed to make last or found nearby. and that's what the romans did in abundance and then traded very, very far 100 with the see are these flip flops were kits could flips for kinda like a little past adult that that's not so sandals but you can't wear the knock. these were passing flag and hey, todd, perform flock holes 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, trickier kempton or warms. and they all claim the title of germany's oldest city. well, but who is right?

ah cheer captain of vogue. they'd all love to lay claim to the title. germany's oldest city true claims, the longest history as a roman city. as opposed to a military camp or a settlement true was called augusta trevor rome and for about a century with a population of around $70000.00. it was the biggest city north of the ups. it was even briefly, one of the capitals of the roman empire during the reign of emperor constantine number of structures remained to bear witness to this golden age, the port a negro or black gate,

for instance. but when was the city actually founded? most sources mentioned a time around 18 to 16 b. c e others would bestow the coveted title of germany's oldest city on bombs. the celts established a settlement on the spot around $5000.00 bc. later, the romans are thought to have built a fortier. tempted on the other hand, is the 1st town in germany to be mentioned in writing. in a book written by geographers drago in 18. c. e can bought an am, as 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. for example,

the ox book, both through and settle and says, well, the question of germany's oldest city has yet to be answered. the conflicting opinions are often colored by local patriotism and differing criteria. but they all have their long histories and coma bolstered by archaeological evidence. i left cologne and travelled south for an hour or 2. i employed the point where the leemis branches off from the rind. my destination is the roman world living museum . how heavy is a chain mail shirt, how worth selling and trading done? here visitors are invited to touch, take part and try things out. of course,

i can't resist. visitors to the roman world can learn more about the location origins and function of the ancient leemis and ryan lent the. let's mate a reconstructive section of the wall. trench and palisade 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 2 tints and instead of waging 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 and the 2 to burg forest. and you can still find traces of these battles today. ah

ah ah, quintillion virus give me back. my legions, emperor augustus is said to have cried out when he was told his general doris had lost 3 entire legions, along with 6 auxiliary cohorts in the battle of troy to book forrest, the attackers were germanic rebels, commanded by arminius, 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 near kike, lisa, north of austin, of look, research on the battle known as the varian disaster has been going on here for 30 years.

not only as cake. these a fascinating excavation site, but an archaeological monument and museum 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. oh, oh. oh. oh, deal plates. mark the romans march along a narrow path between the woods and the more it's still unknown. what took place here? what is known is that after losing this battle, the roman forces withdrew to the western banks of the rhine. sporadic forays were made into germania for another 7 years, but the romans lacked the infrastructure and the germanic tribes, gorillas, style attacks more them down to them. eventually the romans gave up and fortified

their existing borders. ah, germany salinas wrote one of the countries many holiday roots picks up in hein, boy it traces the former roman frontier for 700 kilometers to regensburg on the tenure i followed a stretch of it frowned science like this pointed the way and an app with either an interactive map or a brochure is helpful for quickly locating the archaeological digs. the reconstructions at museums such as believe, miss tower, and her shied. libel

voted were alloy. lucas dig it yet, man. fred cannot block off for you to day claudius antonius antonio closed the door . it was wonderful of up the li, misty thorns, as they are called, give tourists at the various li miss sites. manfred club law has been showing visitors around in his shop for over 10 years now. i get the whole office. what was the exact function of this tower told me of? isn't anybody to him from the towers? they kept a watch on the lee mess swiftly. the border between the roman empire and jamalia. cuba laughed. they always had the talent surroundings in view because if some one approached with hostile intent, i could give a signal from the tower than have muffled tom. oh said he could have done it with a mirror if the sun was out on the mitten, which polished brass would have done the job. i should. hopefully it is missing. that's why this tubers hanging him docked. he's a tool by here. if it was foggy, they could have given the signal with his horn and at night with

with earthworks and the palisade face. the foundations have been reconstructed to show the roots. 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 leemis, there are traces of the romans in many places in germany, for example, in sar length. a whole villa was reconstructed beer and turned into an archaeological open air museum. well, take a look at that. ah, this is how the privileged romans of the provinces once lived in country villas, with well manicured gardens, mosaic 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 world. in the 4 year the head of the house, the dominance receives his guests characteristic are the coffee feelings, frescoes, and half columns decorating the ruse at one time the entire hall most likely had mosaic flows. of course the village also had a roman bath with a dressing room, cold and hot baths and a kind of sitting room. the tepid darian. everything together would have been quite

effective at impressing friends and business partners. good food was every bit as essential to the roman lifestyle. as many as 30 courses might be served up at a banquet prepared in kitchens like this one. thank you. did such eccentric dishes as stuffed flamingo tongues and hazel mice? normally in none pandemic times, the roman days would have been held at the village bogan august complete with market booth and gladiator battles. ah, ah, took out some of our favorite travel picks on instagram followers on d, w. travel. now

the man, the company corridors are secured with a roman lock, well known as a lock and sliding bolt on it. and now you see, if you can get it open of cleaning machine, you don't lose your patience lock and sliding bolt. i can't do it. i give up as the i you hold it like this is through an as slide it 1st in here. done 3. then you turn it in, so the bit points in this direction, the additional psyched then you lift it up. oh and you pull it over, you jiggling a little because the law catches a little vegas ross between hot on and then it's open. so all right in you go in, i'm fisher and alright,
