Trier, the oldest city in Germany

Trier is considered the oldest city in Germany, as it was expanded as a center for the Roman Empire from before the time of Christ. There are ruins of Roman bath houses, a stadium, a city gate (Porta Niegra) and many remembrances of the Emperor Constantine.









This summer a special exhibit featured the life of Constantine, as much of his reign was in Trier. This foot was a reproduction from a larger than life statue of him found in pieces.
