Römische Ausgrabungen im Saarland

Roman excavations in Saarland are archaeological sites displaying remains of settlements, country houses, and fortifications from ancient times. The discovery locations are scattered throughout the state and reveal how this border region was inhabited and developed.

These excavations date to the Roman period, when the region served as an important border and trade zone for the empire. The settlements developed as Rome consolidated control and built infrastructure in this area.

The excavated temples and shrines reflect the religious beliefs of people who lived in this border region and combined local and Roman practices. Visitors can see how faith and spirituality shaped daily life at the time.

The main excavation sites are distributed across Saarland and can be visited at different locations throughout the region. Guided tours with information in multiple languages are available at key parks and museums.

The villa at Nennig contains a large mosaic floor depicting gladiator combat scenes, representing one of the finest Roman artworks found north of the Alps. This elaborate floor decoration reveals the wealth and artistic taste of the people who lived there.
