<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2963509, member: 39&quot;]Yesterday many German newspapers had an article about the Porta Nigra. Why? We finally know when the construction of the gate began - in spring 170, according to the results of dendrochronological research. Scientists decided to dig in the ground near the gate (where an old branch of the Mosel river used to be) and, six meters below the present surface, found pieces of wood used for the construction.</p><p><br /></p><p>Building the Porta Nigra probably took a year or two (keep in mind that it was never &quot;really&quot; completed, and that it was primarily a &quot;prestige&quot; gate), building the entire Roman city wall, a little more than 6 km long, took a little longer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
