The Romans left traces nearly everywhere in Rhineland-Palatinate, but it is the city of Trier which cultivates its Roman heritage especially intensively.

A deeply impressive insight into Roman everyday life is offered during the Römerfest (Roman Festival) around the ancient Villa Otrang, where dishes prepared according to ancient recipes may be tasted and fighting exercises by legionnaires may be admired.
