gilius Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 According to the Cambridge Ancient History: before Claudius extended the chain of auxiliary forts, there were several Tiberian forts, which are said to be the earliest known on the Danube: *Bregenz *Rederzhausen near Augsburg *Aislingen *Nersingen *Burlafingen So far I've only found Aislingen on this map: Uploaded with ImageShack.us The most authoritative map doesn't seem to feature them unless they go by different names?

caldrail Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 This would be the line that the Romans retreated to after the Varian Disaster. before that event Rome had begun colonisation of the Germanic frontier and substantial remains have been found of Roman towns built beyond this border, abandoned in the wake of Germanic victory.

Bregenz - a simple Google search of 'Bergenz Roman fort' found this site with details of the Roman fort at Brigantium-Bregenz a possible civitas capital of the Brigantii so you should be able to find similar details quickly.

Melvadius Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Possibly the fact that at least ome of these when excavated in 1983/84 was described as a fortlet (Burlafingen with only 6 or at most 8 conterburia housed in the barrack building) rather than a fort may also explain some of them being missing from maps of 'forts'.
