    The dedication of Minerva is a fascinating historical theme that points to the region's Roman past. Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom, art, and strategy, was often honored with special monuments and dedications in ancient times. In Mosbach, there is evidence of such Roman cult sites that were later converted into Christian sanctuaries.

    This stone tablet in honor of the Roman goddess Minvera was found at the Neckarburken Castle. Minerva was the goddess of wisdom, her counterpart is the Greek goddess Athena. You can find out more about this on an information board. In addition to the stone relic, you will also find a Jupiter bank and a stamping station.

    The stamp station is also located at the stone monument "Dedication of Minerva." The square is beautifully designed. I also found the information on the information board regarding the scribe soldiers interesting. There was a lot of bureaucracy even in Roman times.
