Civil Settlement (Vicus) of the Roman Fort Numerus

Nr. auf dem Plänchen: 32 (Miltenberg)

In 1998, during construction works at house Maria Regina, a craftsmen’s site of a civil settlement was excavated. It had been part of the Roman Fort Numerus, situated about 300 m east (linear) between the Mittel- and Berufsschule. A melting pit, two pottery kilns, and remains of three wooden buildings were found. The Caritas as homeowner facilitated an exhibition next to the dining hall: a preserved pottery kiln with added information about the Roman era in Miltenberg.

Take a look at this Roman treasure (ca. 160-260 AD) during opening hours.

Tip: Finds from the Fort Numerus can be seen in the Museum Stadt Miltenberg and in the Museum Bürgstadt.
