Orlen had a strategically important location because the Hühnerstrasse passed here, connecting the Roman cities of Wiesbaden and Mainz with the Limburg Basin, which was populated by Germanic tribes. Therefore, one of the first parts of the Limes was built here around 90 BC. a fort was built. Up to 500 men were under arms in Zugmantel fort. Corresponding civilians settled in the surrounding area - the vicus. The size and importance of Zugmantel Fort is also made clear by the fact that the remains of two small amphitheaters were found.
