Castrum Aquae Mattiacorum, Roman military fortress in Wiesbaden, Germany
The stone walls and remaining structures of Castrum Aquae Mattiacorum extend across a strategic position on Heidenberg hill, overlooking the surrounding territories.
Roman forces constructed this military fortification around 80 AD during their expansion into Germania, maintaining control until approximately 122 AD.
The discovery of a Mithraeum temple and inscriptions dedicated to Jupiter Dolichenus reveals the religious practices of Roman soldiers stationed at this fortress.
Archaeological excavations continue at the site, with guided tours available through the local heritage office in Wiesbaden.
The fortress incorporated natural thermal springs, which soldiers used for bathing and healing, leading to the 'Aquae' designation in its name.
