THE ROMANS AT THE MOSELLE

The Mosel region has the world's highest concentration of Roman finds from the third and fourth centuries. After the first storm by Franks 275 AD, the former city of Augusta Treverorum was again upgraded and acted temporarily under Emperor Constantine as a residence and capital of the Western Roman Empire . Therefore, the present-day Trier has great buildings, which are second only to Rome. Since 1986 nine objects in the region are a World Heritage Site of the United Nations. The Roman legacy is still alive in many places.
