Constantia is the collective term for a late Roman border fort of the Danube-Iller-Rhine-Limes, as well as for a civil settlement from the High Imperial Period and late antiquity. You are in the city of Konstanz, district of Konstanz, federal state of Baden-Württemberg in Germany.
The oldest traces of settlement go back to the early Stone Age. Dating from the 1st century BC BC the existence of a Celtic settlement is known, from the 1st to the 3rd century AD the Romans built several forts on today's cathedral hill to defend the border. Constance was at the intersection of several roads to northern Italy, Gaul and the east of the Roman Empire and became an important trading center. The Roman Lake Constance fleet also had a base there. The excavations in the early 2000s finally led to the discovery of a late Roman border fort from the 4th century AD, which has long been suspected place was. Comparable forts were in neighboring Stein am Rhein and Arbon (Switzerland). Today's city developed from the Roman military camp in the early Middle Ages and has retained its ancient name, which probably goes back to Emperor Constantius I (293 to 306), to this day.
