Roman Villa Borg 7/17/16

Not wanting to learn about the Celts and ignore the Romans, we went to the Roman Villa Borg the day after visiting Keltendorf.  Scholars discovered ruins of a Roman settlement between Borg and Oberleuken and painstakingly reconstructed many of its buildings.  The Romans enjoyed a bit more luxury than the Celts.

 I have to say, the Romans knew how to build impressive kitchens.

 Obviously, you need separate hot and cold bathtubs that are big enough to swim in.

 Dice playing

 When in a Roman settlement, dress like a Roman.

 Obviously, you need a place to rest between your hot bath and your cold one.

 The Romans were pretty clever.  They figured out how to build raised floors with ovens underneath so that the floors would be heated.

 And, you always need a fountain in the middle of your living room.

Keltendorf am Donnersberg in Steinbach 7/16/16

Not far from Ramstein is a model of a Celtic settlement from the second half of the 1st century BC.  Keltendorf am Donnersberg in Steinbach was built to illustrate the influence Celtic communities had on the area.  We visited on a lazy summer afternoon and learned how the Celts constructed buildings, made arrows, and crafted soap.
