Colonia on the Rhine, 150
This is Colonia at the height of its Roman prosperity as the capital of Germania Inferior, ringed by a high stone wall and served by the long Eifel aqueduct. The walk follows the riverfront, the forum and the governor’s praetorium along the eastern wall, passes domestic houses with polychrome mosaics and the busy river port, and reaches the naval fort road to the Rhine fleet.
35 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 13 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Cologne as it stood in AD 150 (“Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium”).
