Years: 9BCE - 9BCE

Early fortifications had been erected around around 1000 BCE in the vicinity of present Koblenz, on the Festung Ehrenbreitstein hill on the opposite side of the Moselle.

Roman troops commanded by Julius Caesar in 55 BCE had reached the Rhine and built a bridge between present Koblenz and Andernach.

Drusus, in about 9 BCE, fortifies the site site, which lies between the present-day German cities of Bonn and Mainz at the confluence of the Mosel (Moselle) and Rhine rivers in the modern German state of Rhineland-Palatinate.
