During the construction of the Parkstad outer ring in the year 2015, archaeologists find the remains of a Roman road that was also found in Heerlen. The Via Traiana connects Aachen with Heerlen and Xanten, and is part of a road network of unprecedented scale! Travelling suddenly became faster; army troops moved at lightning speed and trade goods from distant regions came to our region. The same goes for Roman culture. And that explains, elsewhere in Kerkrade, the discovery of a figurine of a bear, in a sacrificial pit.
NOTE: The location of the spear is located near the bench along the bike path opposite house number 100.
