Castellum Laurium
The Dutch town of Woerden on the Rhine was once a Roman fort, Castellum Laurium. River-going technology unearthed by Dutch archaeologists suggests Roman river transport of AD 100 could flow upstream as well as down.
Dutch archaeologists have discovered a Roman cargo ship equipped with oars, a unique find that they say explains how imperial Rome defended itself on its northern frontiers.
