WIESBADEN, Germany — Almost 2,000 years ago, several Roman military bases were established along the Rhine River in western Germany, including one in Mainz – a large Roman city known as Moguntiacum. Because of its strategic location, historians surmise the base housed as many as four Roman legions.
So it was no surprise that archeologists discovered Roman artifacts and ruins in the middle of an Army family housing construction project at the south end of the Wiesbaden Army Airfield – less than five miles from Mainz.
