"Caracalla and the expeditio Germanorum against the Alamanni (?) . . . per limitem Raetiae"
Abstract: Various literary sources refer to the Caracalla's campaign against the Alamanni in 213, but they conflict with each other. This paper tries to resolve the contradictions in the context of the archaeological evidence in southern Germany. New discoveries, in particular at and around Faimingen, Dalkingen, and Neuenstadt am Kocher, will be presented. The campaign may have been conducted at these sites, and the Emperor may even have visited them.
