“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.
