After abandoning the Alb Limes (the ridgeline of the Swabian Jura) around 150 AD, the Romans erected a castrum to house the cavalry unit Ala II Flavia milliaria in direct vicinity of the then newly erected Rhaetian Limes. Around 260 AD, the Romans gave up the fort. #RomanFortThursday

The Divitia-Deutz fort is the nucleus of right-bank of Cologne in Germany. Little remains of the fort today, which was built between AD 310 and 315. Apart from the northwest tower, the western part of the fort was demolished in the 19th century when the river bank was adjusted. #RomanFortThursday

Magna pre-dates the building of Hadrian’s Wall in AD 122. It lies at the junction between two major Roman roads, the Maiden Way and the Stanegate. Today the site, and its civilian settlement, is a series of fields with humps and bumps, the remains of the rampart and a turret. #RomanFortThursday

Belogradchik Fortress was initially fortified by the Romans: walls were only built from the northwest and southeast on this natural rock, with the yard was surrounded by rocks up to 70 m high from the other sides. It was extended by the Bulgarians and the Ottomans in the 14th century and again in the 19th century. #RomanFortThursday
