What a fantastic history and so much nice Roman influence in architecture and monuments that remain. YOu did a splendid job of describing the town and the pictres are very good.
Nice page, good info on this town, Karl
I missed many things during my short and unplanned visit in Trier, Doug, but had a nice dinner at the Domstein too! It is always a pleasure to visit history laden cities.
