Castrum Asciburgium, Roman military fort in Moers, Germany.
The remains of Castrum Asciburgium form a rectangular layout with defensive walls marking the perimeter of this ancient Roman military installation.
Established in the first decade AD during the reign of Drusus, the fort served as a strategic garrison for the ala Frontoniana until 70 AD.
Archaeological excavations at Castrum Asciburgium reveal daily life patterns of Roman soldiers through recovered artifacts, weapons, and personal possessions.

The fort's location along the Lower German Limes formed part of the northern frontier of the Roman Empire, earning UNESCO World Heritage status in 2021.
