As dendrochronological studies of wooden pile grids of the wall sections running parallel to the Rhine show, Mogontiacum was surrounded by its own city fortifications with walls and rectangular, slightly protruding towers as early as the middle of the 3rd century.[1] After the fall of the Limes, repairs were carried out on the Roman city wall, especially in the Merovingian period under Theudebert I and Sidonius, as well as in the Carolingian period. In Mainz city archaeology, this city wall is therefore referred to as "Roman-Carolingian".
