Roman legacy in Cologne

I recently visited the Roman-Germanic Museum in Cologne, that exhibits archeological finds from the Roman and Germanic era in Cologne and the surrounding area. While strolling through the exhibition, I was fascinated by the acute presence of the artifacts on display and the stories behind them. Of course, I’m aware of Cologne’s Roman heritage, but every visit to the museum makes me even more aware of the Roman influence on Cologne’s culture and identity.
