It’s interesting that there was a Roman presence that far east (and north) of the mouth of the Rhine, but that border was particularly fluid. I suspect the amber trade probably made it attractive in Roman times as well. The Romans really got around, but I juxtaposed those to show more of a continuity of trade.
