Tips

The fort, probably founded in the late 4th century AD, was part of the rear fortification line. The castle mainly contained coins, dishes, jewelry, toys and tools, but only a few weapons. The interior was probably densely built up and does not appear to have been used exclusively by the military. Inside you can still see the remains of the wall.

The fort in Pfyn, which was probably founded in the late 4th century AD, was part of the rear fortification line. There were finds of cubes and game pieces made of bone. How did the Roman soldiers who were stationed in the fort on the border “ad fines” fare? Most of the time they kept watch, waited and played. What you don't know, what happened when the Teutons attacked from the other side.
