Small Relic of a Roman Wall

Description

This barely perceptible piece of Roman wall may be unimpressive, but its location between the vicus, the auxiliary camp, the canabae and the legionary camp is indicative of Bonn’s importance. The areas merged or were reused, and the population of the north-south axis on the Rhine was a vibrant one throughout the centuries of Roman occupation. The growth, success and prosperity of the canabae and the vicus of Bonn were nourished by and dependent on the road linking Tier (Augusta Treverorum) and Cologne (CCAA – Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium).
