Archaeologists recently unearthed the remains of ancient Roman marching camps<\/a> in Saxony-Anhalt \u2014 a first for one of Eastern Germany’s larger states.<\/p>\n

The discovery was announced by the State Office for Heritage Management and Archaeology of Saxony-Anhalt (LDA Saxony-Anhalt) in January.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The camps were found at a site between the northern Harz Mountains and the Elbe River.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pictures from the site show aerials of the field \u2014 as well as a cross-section of sediment layers exposed during archaeological work.<\/p>\n

Radiocarbon analysis determined that the camps were likely established in the early third century A.D.<\/p>\n

Officials say the site “documents Roman advances in the third century A.D.,” providing physical archaeological evidence that had previously been missing in the region.<\/p>\n

“Until now, concrete evidence for these campaigns had been lacking in the territory of Saxony-Anhalt,” LDA Saxony-Anhalt said in a translated press release.<\/p>\n

“In particular, the highly standardized marching camps that the Roman military constructed daily after reaching a marching destination were expected.”<\/p>\n

Archaeologists used metal detectors to unearth over 1,500 artifacts,<\/a> including nails, coins and fragments of fibulas, or brooches.<\/p>\n

They also uncovered remnants of V-shaped defensive ditches, a hallmark of Roman military camps used to prevent enemy entry.<\/p>\n

“These are the northeastern-most Roman camps in free Germania identified to date,” the release said.<\/p>\n

“The discoveries represent an archaeological sensation, made possible largely through volunteer heritage conservators and modern remote-sensing technology.”<\/p>\n

Rome made repeated attempts to push its frontier into what is now Germany,<\/a> but never succeeded in fully conquering or holding the territory.<\/p>\n

By the third century, however, Roman armies advanced further into Germanic territory.<\/p>\n

“From the third century A.D. onward, major changes occurred in the Germanic region, with new tribal confederations posing a serious threat to the Roman Empire,” said the release.<\/p>\n

“Written sources provide only a limited picture of Roman military campaigns in inner Germania, making archaeological discoveries particularly important.”<\/p>\n

“Until now, Saxony-Anhalt lacked structural evidence of Roman troop movements toward the Elbe, especially marching camps.”<\/p>\n

The latest discoveries join a list of other recent Roman-era finds in Germany.<\/p>\n

Last summer, excavators found a mysterious Roman-era<\/u> settlement<\/a> site in North Rhine-Westphalia, complete with building remains and artifacts.<\/p>\n

In January, Fox News Digital spoke with German officials about a hoard of Roman coins<\/a> that was recently seized by authorities \u2014 years after a metal detectorist found them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
