Römisches Stadttor

The Roman city gate features stone walls, a four-meter-wide passage, and sandstone slabs with visible wheel tracks from ancient Roman vehicles.

The gate was constructed around 360-370 CE using stones from a dismantled legion camp, forming part of the late Roman city walls in Mainz.

The remains of the gate provide evidence of Roman engineering methods and urban planning, displaying the technical capabilities of Roman builders in Germania Superior.

The archaeological site is integrated into the green spaces of the Kupferbergterrasse residential complex and remains open for public viewing throughout the year.

The sandstone road slabs contain two-meter-wide grooves created by Roman cart wheels, marking the exact width of ancient Roman vehicles.
