99 wells

Under our very noses, between Wehrheim and Bad Homburg the Saalburg is located, a reconstructed Limes-fort. Today, a Unesco World Heritage Site, it shows the highly developed Roman (military) culture from about 1800 years ago. In 2000 years, people will probably pay tribute to the remnants of the Berlin Wall as a World Heritage Site, an abstruse idea from today’s perspective.

There are 99 wells were in and around the Roman fort. Either the Romans were very thirsty, the wells unproductive or the romans splashed violently in the bathrooms. No, says the expert: it is likely that in the camp and  around lived about 2000 people (compared to the roman Trier 80,000).
