Fletio, Roman castellum in De Meern, Netherlands
The archaeological site of Fletio contains foundation remnants of a Roman fort that accommodated 480 auxiliary troops along the Rhine frontier.
The military complex appeared on the Peutinger Table, an ancient Roman map, and operated from the first century until approximately 270 CE.
Archaeological excavations between 1998 and 2003 revealed roads, quays, watchtowers, and two merchant ships near the settlement area.
The reconstructed fortress, now part of Castellum Hoge Woerd cultural center, includes educational displays about Roman military life on the frontier.
Research proved that Fletio represented a separate fort from Castellum Fectio through distance calculations on the Peutinger map.
