The discovery caused great excitement among archaeologists and local residents.

An ancient Roman defensive wall built in the 3rd century has been discovered in the city of Aachen in Germany. Archaeologists discovered it during construction at the intersection of Pontstrasse and Marktplatz. Arkeonews writes about it.

The discovery caused a great stir both among archaeologists and among the residents of the city of Aachen, historically known as the home of Charlemagne.

Archaeologist Andreas Schaub, who took part in the excavations, described the find as “the remains of a massive Roman wall,” suggesting that it was an integral part of a larger fortress.

“The complex structure, built in the 3rd century, is a huge wall more than 5 meters wide, where round towers are located and rises around the Aachen Marktplatz square. Scientists believe that the found fragment is part of the northern gate of the fortification that surrounds the perimeter of the market square in Aachen. During excavations, a wall segment 7 meters long and about a meter thick was discovered, but the entire extent of this structure remains unknown, as the remaining segments still need to be explored,” the report said.

Schaub said the discovery adds another page to Aachen’s history, which spans from Roman times to the Middle Ages. It provides an unshakable connection to the past of the aforementioned city, offering its own perspective on the city’s evolution over the centuries.

Let’s recall that during an investigation of the sea area around the Greek island of Kasos, a group of scientists discovered ten sunken ships and other important ancient artifacts.
