The Heidenmauer (sometimes 'Roman Wall') is the most famous Roman monument in the Hessian state capital Wiesbaden, the Roman Aquae Mattiacorum. According to current opinion, it was built around 370 AD under Emperor Valentinian I and is thus the oldest preserved building in the city. The purpose of this defensive wall cannot be clearly determined to this day, and the dating cannot be more precisely defined than generally in the late phase of the Roman Wiesbaden.

In the Wilhelmine era, the pagan wall was broken through to build Coulin Street and the so-called Roman Gate was added in the style of the time. While only a few sections of the wall are visible above ground, the gate, which was added later, is integrated as a visible monument into the urban structures of the 19th century in the Quellenviertel. The connecting arch to the Kaiser-Friedrich-Bad and the wooden top come from 1903.

Wasn't built in Roman times, but still nice to look at, it's just a shame that the cars drive through.

Next to the gate, a small cobbled serpentine leads down towards the pedestrian area. There are some relics from Roman times to see. The serpentine reminds a bit of Lombart Street in San Francisco
