Roman legacy and its effects

The legacy of Roman culture is deeply rooted in Germany. The Roman rule not only left cultural traces, but also affected the social and economic development of the region sustainably. Roman roads, military camps and urban structures were formative for infrastructure and trade. A sophisticated road network enabled the exchange of goods and contact between different regions.

interactions between Romans and the local Germanic tribes also led to a cultural exchange. The migration, which took place around 375 to 800 AD, marked a decisive turning point for the Roman Empire and German history. These changes led to political fragmentation into small kingdoms and the synthesis of Roman and Germanic traditions.

The Roman Empire was one of the most powerful civilizations in antiquity, and the influences are still noticeable in Germany. In addition to architecture, such as amphithral remains in Trier and Augsburg, Roman law and Latin language also influenced German identity. The Roman day in the Andreaschift Museum offers a unique insight into this multifaceted history.
