Excerpt from Zur Geschichte und Kultur der Römischen Rheinlande
Zwei Jahrtausende sind vergangen, seitdem die Cimbern und Teutonen, germanische und keltische Stämme, den Rhein über schritten, Gallien überfiuteten und den Versuch machten, in die Poebene einzudringen, um sich in der Kulturwelt des Mittel meeres festzusetzen. Sie hatte dem C. Marius dafür zu danken, dass er auf den Schlachtfeldern von Aquae Sextiae und Ver cellae jene Scharen vernichtet hat. C. Cäsar, sein Neffe, der erste, der es wagte, das Andenken an die Cimbernsiege zu er neuern, übernahm als Führer der Volkspartei die Verwaltung der gallischen Provinzen, die ihm Gelegenheit gab, das Imperium bis zum atlantischen Ozean und zum Rheine auszudehnen.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the rich tapestry of life in the Rhine-Meuse region under Roman rule. It transports readers to a time when the legions established a vast network of fortresses and settlements, facilitating trade, defense, and cultural exchange. The author shines a light on the vibrant cities of Augusta Treverorum (Trier) and Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium (Cologne), showcasing their impressive public works, luxurious villas, and flourishing art scenes. Beyond the urban centers, the book explores the lives of farmers, merchants, and soldiers who shaped the character of this ancient landscape. It also traces the transformation of the region as Roman influence waned and Germanic tribes ascended. The influence of this era is still evident in the ruins, inscriptions, and archaeological discoveries that continue to captivate historians and laypeople alike. By examining this period of profound change, the author provides a window into the enduring legacy of the Roman Empire and its impact on the development of Western civilization.
