The territorial organization of the Nova Roman province of Germania

Our province has two subdivisions, Regio Germania Inferior et Superior et Magna, shortly Regio Germanica, (Germany), led by provincial quaestor C. Flavius Stilicho and Regio Noricum et Raetia (Austria and Switzerland), led by proquaestor C. Artorius Praeconinus.

Latin names of towns

Just as Provincia Gallia, Provincia Germania has a rich Roman history. A lot of cities have their origin in Roman military camps (forts) and their accompanying civil settlements. Here you will find city, town and village names in Latin with their modern names. Locations founded in the Late Antique area and later have their Latin names from this time (Late Antique, Medieval Latin, Renaissance and Neo-Latin).

Sacred Sites

This section lists notable temples and sacred sites in Provincia Germania. These are public sites, not related to Nova Roma, but since they‘re absolutely unique and special, they are helpful for understanding Roman religion and culture.

Germany

• Colonia Ulpia Traiana Xanten/D - Partly reconstructed harbour temple as part of an Archaelogical Parc. Unfortunately, it is not known to which Deity the temple once was dedicated.
  

• Mogontiacum Mainz/D - A shopping mall („Römerpassage“) in Mogontiacum is hosting the remains of an Isis-Magna Mater sanctuary.
  

• Mons Martis Martberg-Pommern/D - Here, the remains of a Gallo-Roman temple with an ambulatory (peripteral temple) dedicated to Lenus Mars were found and excellently reconstructed.
  

• Phoebiana Faimingen/D - Remnants of an Apollo-Grannus-temple once erected by Emperor Caracalla
  

• Tabernae Tawern/D - In Tabernae, a temple district was found and partially reconstructed. The (reconstructed) main building is a Mercurius temple flanked by a three-sided gallery/ambulatory.
  

• ??? Saalburg/D - Excellently reconstructed Mithraeum (accessible, but a glass wall prevents visitors from entering). In the Saalburg's sourroundings, various altars and a reconstructed Iuppiter Giant Column can be found.
  

Switzerland

• Augusta Raurica (Kaisers)Augst/D - Remnants of a temple (most probably dedicated to Dea Roma or Iuppiter) as part of an Archaelogical Parc.
  

Military Sites

The Limes Germanicus, separating the Roman Empire from the free Germanic tribes eastwards, was fortified with numerous watch towers and castrae whose remnants can be found all along the ancient border. Here, a number of notable forts and watch towers are listed. These are public sites, not related to Nova Roma, but since they‘re absolutely unique and special, they are helpful for understanding Roman military structures.

Germany

• ??? Saalburg/D - Reconstructed auxiliary fort and museum near the city of Bad Homburg v. d. H., once built to protect the Germanic Limes, UNESCO World Heritage Site.
