I feel strangely proud as well. My city never appears on HN, but Poetovio appears on here and it has only 20K people nowadays. In the Roman times, it had an estimated 40k population and it was a military camp IIRC.

My hometown of Curia is there as well.

Although, doesn't make me especially proud, it has been an uninterrupted population history that starts way before the Romans. :-)

Not much of Roman ruins to see nowadays unfortunately.

I just recently visited ruins of Tanais (most north-east town on this map) and it was also nice to find it here :) Feeling all that historical connection...

That's some coincidence. I'm from about 20 min south of there (Im.). I was surprised to see KE on there.

20 minutes by foot or horse?

Meeting on HN :-) Hi! I once had a girlfriend in Sonthofen.
