Last week, Fectio visited the new (well, already 3,5 years old) museum in the archaeological park Xanten (APX), the former Colonia Ulpia Traiana. I've visited this place 6 times since 1991, and I like what they keep doing with the place. Currently they are recreating a few town houses, and the old road (still cut through here) will probably soon be removed. I guess archaeological surveys will continue as well - most Roman towns are built over, after all. Personally I'd like to see more attention being paid to the 4th c. settlement, all the focus is now on the 1st-2nd c. town.
