Ancient history and archaeology
Traces of the great Roman civilization are still very much in evidence in southwest Germany where the oldest cities all have Roman origins and date back more than 2,000 years. Trier, Germany’s oldest city was built by the Romans. It is packed with ancient ruins and is the only city in Germany that was a seat of the Roman Empire. Mainz was used as a base on campaigns against the Eastern Tribes and has several museums dedicated to its ancient history and archaeology.
