Römermuseum Obernburg

The Römermuseum Obernburg is an archaeology museum in Obernburg am Main displaying finds from the Roman military fort. The exhibit includes stone inscriptions, everyday objects and tools, with a notable collection of beneficiarii consulares inscriptions and religious Jupiter stones.

Between 107 and 260 AD, Roman legions built a military fort in Obernburg that served as an important border fortress on the Limes for a long time. The Main River served as a transport route for timber from the Spessart Mountains, which was needed to maintain the garrison.

The collection displays religious objects from Roman times, including a Mithras stone with a reconstructed shrine and dedication stones that show how Romans worshipped their gods. These pieces reveal the beliefs of the soldiers stationed here.

The museum is located in a historic building in the old town and is open at fixed times, especially on weekdays and Sundays. It is easy to reach on foot and offers an overview of the Roman finds from the region.

The museum houses a glass bowl from the 4th century AD, one of the oldest Christian artifacts found in the region. This rare piece shows how early religious changes became visible at the frontier.
