Strange (roman) walls at Mainz - Gonsbachtal
#2
As promised:
Giving a short update:
--- The area seems not to be inside the Roman city-walls. I mixed up the Zahlbach, which confines the Kästrich, wehere the legionary base is, with the Gonsbach which flows right in the middle of Mainz-Gonsenheim, well outside the main Roman Settlements. (But still with minor settlements there)
More links with a pic of a relief-Stone found there

Further Infos are given about the Diameter of the round structure : over 40m Diameter. Some of the larger walls will stay visible while most of the other structures will be buried underground so that they stay "ready" for further excavations in the future.
Somewhat older article here:

Now I'm really thrilled what may come out when all the finds have been assessed, inspected and rated.
