Description

Regensburg zur Römerzeit (Regensburg in Roman Times) reviews and re-examines research into the Roman period in Regensburg that has yielded a wealth of unexpected findings in recent years. New discoveries have been made, and many older excavations have been scientifically re-examined, significantly expanding our knowledge of the city's earliest history. The discovery of a second fort on the Danube in front of the legionary camp necessitates new assessments. Regensburg's unbroken existence from Roman times to the present day is now secured by archaeological finds and reinforces the city's importance for the history of Bavaria during the Roman era. Under Emperor Marcus Aurelius, a powerful legionary camp was built in AD 179 at the northernmost point of the Danube as a bulwark against the encroaching Germanic tribes known as Castra Regina.
