"The excavation at the playground near the Roman camp at Haltern am See has revealed significant artifacts, including a hobnailed boot and a glass game piece, providing valuable insights into daily life at the camp during the Roman Empire."
"This site, close to the 1st century fortifications, demonstrates the persistence of Roman military presence until 16 A.D., despite setbacks like the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest."
"Dr. Bettina Tremmel noted that the discovery of a legionnaire's boot in a waste pit illustrates how discarded items can offer a glimpse into the mundane realities of this historical military garrison."
"Located on the wood-earth wall of the camp, this playground excavation not only adds to our understanding of Roman military logistics but also highlights the overlap of modern life and historical landscapes in these regions."
