"The two headquarters of the [Roman] army of the Rhine were
always Vetera, near Wesel, and Mogontiacum, the modern Mentz.
… Mogontiacum or Mentz, [was] from the time of Drusus down
to the end of Rome the stronghold out of which the Romans
sallied to attack Germany from Gaul, as it is at the present
day the true barrier of Germany against France. Here the
Romans, even after they had abandoned their rule in the region
of the upper Rhine generally, retained not merely the
tête-de-pont on the other bank, the 'castellum Mogontiacense'
(Castel), but also that plain of the Main itself, in their
possession; and in this region a Roman civilisation might
establish itself. The land originally belonged to the Chatti,
and a Chattan tribe, the Mattiaci, remained settled here even
under Roman rule."
