Tongeren - Germania Inferior or Gallia Belgica?
#5
Quote:"The 'civitas Tungrorum' belongs to the province of 'Gallia Belgica'. Emperor Domitianus divides Gallia Belgica further. Tongeren and the outlying country becomes part of the province 'Germania inferior".
The army of lower Germany lay within the borders of Gallia Belgica until the emperor Domitian formally created the province of Germania Inferior by subtracting territory from Gallia Belgica. (Hence, Gallia Belgica was "divided further".) But I must admit, I assumed that Tongeren remained in Gallia Belgica. :?
