Tempelbezirk im Altbachtal

The archaeological complex spans 5 hectares and contains over 70 temples, chapels, sacred areas, priests' houses, and a ceremonial theater.

Excavations between 1926 and 1934 revealed multiple layers of construction, from wooden structures during Augustus' time to stone buildings in the late first century.

The temples primarily honored local Treveri deities, whose representations incorporated elements from Roman mythology and religious traditions.

The artifacts discovered at Tempelbezirk im Altbachtal are now displayed in the Rhineland Museum of Trier, forming the largest collection of cult monuments from a single Roman site.

The site includes specific religious elements such as an Epona relief, a representation of Mithras' rock birth, and a bronze statue of Mercury.
