Next to the Moselle River lies Trier, Germany’s oldest city. It was founded as a Roman colony in 16 B.C. and to this day you can still see numerous Roman ruins throughout the city. Trier was even called “The Second Rome” by Roman emperors, and this month we will show you why they loved this city so much.
