 Trier
In 58 - 50 B. C. as Julius Caesar captured "Gallien", making the
Rhine the cast boarder of the Roman empire, he also subdued the "Treverer", a
Celtic tribe, which praised their ancient German descent and lived between the rivers
Rhine and Maas.
The ruins of the amphitheater at "Petersberg" (holding about 30,000 people) and
the massive bath palaces of the "Barbarathermen" in the vicinity of the Mosel
are eloquent evidence for the strongly pulsing life of the Roman Trier in the first
century AD.
This peak for Trier suffered a sudden interruption through the invasion of the Franks in
275. They broke through the "Limes", which was the Roman defense wall back then,
and left Trier in ashes and soot.Trier became the second Rome. Amphitheater and thermal
spas were reconstructed. The emperors palace (with its magnificent throne room, presently
the Basilica), the circus, and the preserved ruins of the emperors hall form a vast, group
of towering buildings in the middle of the city.
