| Porta Nigra - The Black Gate at night |
It's hard to imagine long ago there once was a large and impressive Roman city in Germany, but that's what Trier or
Augustus Trevori was - Emperor Augustus' city in the land of the Celtic clan of the Trevori. This ancient metropole on the Mosel river has an entire program of interactive re-discovery about this magnificent gate along with the other Roman sites to see. It received its name from the locals, because the grey sandstone oxidizes and turns naturally black - hence the name
Porta Nigra or the 'Black Gate'
