    Tips

    The Roman "milestones" are indeed authentic copies of a Zülpich original in the "Museum of Bathing Culture", but strictly speaking they are not copies at all! The barely recognizable inscription shows the distance from Zülpich to Cologne in "16 leagues", a Celtic unit of length commonly used locally. That is about 35 km. The inscription shows a gap that arose when the son of Emperor Constantine mentioned there was sentenced to death and thus fell victim to the "damnatio memoriae", the damnation of oblivion.
