More Trier

The Porta Nigra isn't the only Roman ruin in Trier. The city was a major northern Roman city, so there's a huge baths-structure, of which some remains. Here are a couple of pictures:







The city also came across a buried baths-structure when they were attempting to build a new parking structure. (An impromptu guide we picked up - who was helping us find Karl Marx's birth-home - pointed out that the city had then built a "very small" parking garage.)



And, as a result of the extensive Roman ruins, the city also has a lot in the way of Roman decor and statuary - which is housed in a neat museum. The photo below is an example of the Roman mosaics common in Trier (and throughout the Roman Empire) - which was thoroughly explained in the museum.
