, after having taken up the waters of the Talfer, joins the mother stream that comes sweeping down in gentle curves from the beautiful basin of Meran. also rich in pre-historic and Roman remains. In the Eisack gorge itself, though not on a level with the modem high-road or the railway, but well above on the steep slopes of the enclosing mountains where ran the Roman road, we come across the remains of an important Roman settlement of which we have already spoken, i.e., the Sublavio, where Saturninus

and his successors levied toll upon the patient traders, Here, near the station of Waidbruck, stands also the ancient castle of Trostburg, one of the finest specimens of an untouched mediaeval Burg to be found anywhere, though now in a somewhat neglected condition. It occupies, as numerous Roman remains discovered there prove, the site of a Roman tnansio. Less than four miles further up the Eisack canon stands the Gibraltar of Tyrol, the Roman stronghold of Sabiona, or Sebona. There Nature carved

out a natural fortress in the shape of a rocky pinnacle towering some 450 feet over the single street that constitutes the mediae val town of Klausen, and which just finds room between the foot of the rock and the boisterous Eisack. From the top of this rock both the river and the high-road could be commanded even more effectually than at the Doss di Trento, Sabima , to give it the name more generally used, was one of the strongest Roman points in the country, and though for the last thousand

jT iO 1 ïKOL PAST AND PRESENT ■ -a, 1 4 - These doubts concerning the exact location of the Roman road in the Unter Innthal were principally caused by an unfortunate mania of Archduke Ferdinand, the famous founder of the Ambras collection in the sixteenth century. This otherwise exceedingly intelligent ruler had the craze of collecting from all parts of the country the Roman mile stones then still to be found in plenty, and the passages and courtyards of Ambras castle were lined with the

the distance between these two points along the present high-road is about 6000 yards more, As., 44 kilometers. The fallacies of the arguments pointing to Matzen not occupying the site of Masciacum were,however, soon shown up, even before Mommsen published in 1873 his celebrated " Inscriptiones,” At the period when this discussion arose it was still believed that the Roman road followed the Inn river along the bottomland, or in other words to have run where the modem high-road takes its devious

course. Instead of this being the case, it is now ascertained that the Roman road did not make the considerable detours of the modem road, nor did it cross the river twice. It kept well above the over-flowed bottom land, passing near the village of Anipass, and a glance at a map will show that the distance along this bee-line exactly corresponds with that given in the famous itinerary as intervening between Veldidena and Mascia cum. The rock upon which some long forgotten Roman

as the neighbourhood afforded; the piers were formed of rolled stones and pebbles, thrown into a caisson or box, and then filled in with mortar or Roman cement ; they were faced with large bricks, 4 he height of the piers was probably 25 or 30 ft. ; the arches which they supported were of wood. This monu ment is also remarkable in an historical point of view, as it marks the culmi nating point of Roman dominion, if not of Roman greatness. Trajan sent a colony of 30,000 men into Dacia, and his design

was to unite, by means of this bridge, the Tratis-Danubian con quests of Rome with her possessions §• of the river, to connect them by a permanent highway, over which Ro man armies should be poured to con quer fresh provinces as yet hardly known even in name. By one of the first acts of his successor, Adrian (a.d. 120), the bridge was broken down, and, although he retained possession of the province in consequence of the number of Roman citizens settled in it, the Roman soldier never again crossed

wie Danube as conqueror. For the first time since the foundation of Rome, lerminus, the stubborn god who re fused to budge to make way for Jupiter himself in the Capitol, here gave up Ins vantage-ground and retired. Here the tide of empire first turned, and never ceased to recede until Rome had snnli to nothing. The E in per or A ure - Ran finally withdrew the Roman legions from Dacia, abandoning it to the iner- C16 f ^ k y Barbarians. The Goths and Huns, in their annual inroads, had .already begun

read the Wallachian books and newspapers that are printed in Roman characters. Most of the ordinary phrases will be quite familiar to him ; as buna sera, buna nópte. Que tèmp' este ?

44 TYROL PAST AND PRESENT already an object of some attention. In the year IZZ2 an unusually heavy torrent of rain uncovered this stone, and a well-intentioned knight happening to hear of this had the good sense to take steps to preserve the stone and to have engraved on it a quaintly worded description where and when it was discovered. This example is unfortunately not always followed by later discoverers of Roman remains, and a particularly exasperating illustration of how not to treat

inscription, effaced the latter and turned the pillar into a tombstone still to be seen in the Meran cemetery ! The Via Claudia through the Vintschgau never ap proached in importance the road over the Brenner Pass, and though we know that provisions for the Roman legions were transported over it in the beginning of the fifth century, all reference to it is omitted from the two principal imperial itineraries which give us such invaluable information concerning Roman affairs. For more than a century after

the conquest of Tyrol by Augustus 5 sons, the Brenner Pass remained more of a commercially important road than a military one. The principal article of trade carried across it southward was salt. It came from the famous mines at Hall in the Unter-Innthal, which it is believed were already known, and worked, by the Raetians in pre-Roman times, and as these mines are to-day still in active operation,—it is said they contain sufficient saline rock or the next thou-

have been witnessed by the inmates of the old pile we are in. To do so we must first give a few details of its origin that take us back to the days before the birth of Christ, when Raetia was still a wilderness peopled with heathens. That the point of rock jutting out into the valley upon which the tower and castle of Matzen stand, was the site of human habitations from very early times, is shown by the discovery of numerous pre-Roman utensils, orna ments and arms that have been dug up at different

times in what might be described as the castle’s back-garden. These bronze bracelets, - armrings, fibulae or early shape, and spearheads take us back to periods long anterior to the birth of Raetia as a Roman province,* to centuries that had come and gone when Drusus and Tiberius’ , personally conducted invasion of Tyrol, a dozen or so of years before the commencement of the Christian era, added another province to the Roman world-empire. The much discussed question who the original inhabitants

of Tyrol were, whether Etruscan, or Celtic, or Cimbric tribes, remains, in spite of untold scientific controversies, as unsettled to-day as it was a hundred and more years * According to Roschmann and Huber, both writers of the begin ning of the nineteenth century, also many Roman remains, such as a milestone, numerous coins and a tesselated pavement, were discovered In the immediate vicinity of Matzcn. The milestone is said to have stood at a peasant’s croft close to the castle. Unfortunately

42 TYROL PAST AND PRESENT became good citizens of Rome; though this process of assimilation probably took longer in the case of Raeiia than in that of adjacent Noricum and Vindelicia, where in the time of Augustus’ grandson, the Roman municipal system was already in full operation. It was probably Brusus alone who, following up his victorious march northwards, founded Vindeli- corum (Augsburg), while Tiberius again went westwards, for as Mommsen has shown, it was Brusus and not Hadrian who

established the important fortified camp, and built a forum for the usual commercial purposes.* It soon became one of the most important Roman towns north of the Central Alps and Tacitus already speaks of it as splendidissima Raelice provincial colonia. f Thus in brief outline came to pass, about the year b.c. 15» the conquest of the sturdy Raetians, It is safe to assume that the task of Brusus and Tiberius would have been an infinitely more difficult one if the various component tribes had held together

, for the advantages inherent to the defence of a mountainous country, such as Tyrol, are considerable, and in the days of hand-to-hand fighting they were even greater than they are now, when superiority of armament and skilful tactic are more easily able to overcome unorganised resistance, though Napoleon’s Tyrolese campaign a century ago cannot be cited as a happy example of this. For close upon five centuries Raetia remained a Roman province, and the great road over the Brenner, which proved

greatness of that wonderful people than when, on sailing down the Danube, I first observed the traces, and compre hended the object to which this work was destined.”— MS. Journal. “ On looking at the two sides of the river, I immediately saw that the Servian was that on which the road should have been constructed, even had the Roman relics not been there, nor the facilities which the Roman work itself still continues to afford. The plan of the Romans, that is, corridors of wood, too, seemed the

one best adapted to the nature of the country, covered with forests of oak. In fact, it appeared to me that the Roman road might be re-established with great ease : the rock having been cut away where- ever it was called for, scarcely more than the restoration of the wood-work would have been necessary. Servìa would easily have supplied the timber; the river would have transported it ; every Servian wears a hatchet in his belt, and they live under a system similar to that which has left so many

it. It is so small that one must, stoop to pass it; close to it is another hole iii the rock, serving as a window, and a port-hole for a cannon. A single gun, aided by musketry, completely commands the passage of the river at this point. The interior is spacious, and is lighted by an opening at the side, hut as a cave it is not remarkable, and has no stalactites. 1. At Dubova the channel of the Danube is contracted to its smallest breadth, viz., 123 yards. 1. Near this stood another of the Roman forts

, rt. Nearly at the termination of the file, just before the river begins again to spread itself out, opposite Old Gradina, the rocky wall of the precipice on the rt. bank bears an inscription in honour of Trajan, called Trajan's Tafel, The tablet is supported by two winged figures with a dolphin on each side, and is surmounted by the Roman eagle. It has been much defaced by time, and the fires lighted under it by Servian fishermen and shepherds ; but the fol lowing letters may be deciphered: IMP. CAESAR

40 TYROL PAST AND PRESENT Roman sway. But twenty years later it became mani fest to Rome's rulers that in order to secure themselves against these constant northern raiders, the empire’s frontier must be extended northwards also in the direc tion of Raetia, the line of the Danube being substituted for that of the Po. To Tiberius and Drusus, the two stepsons of Augustus, was entrusted the task of conquering the Raetians, and the campaign was as carefully planned by the over cautious Augustus

as it was skilfully carried out by his ' kinsmen. From two sides the Roman legions entered Tyrol; Tiberius who was then governor of Gaul, coming in from the west by way of Lake Leman, and Drusus from the south, making Trent his headquarters, and following up the broad and fertile valley of the Adige, to where it is joined by the Eisack at Bozen, The Brenner Pass was his obvious goal, which to possess meant the command of the country.

THE OLDEST PASS OVER THE ALPS 39 from Plutarch’s Marius that the spot where Quintus Lutatius Catulus, the leader of the Roman legions that were sent northwards to oppose the invaders, met the latter, was on the banks of the Adige, between Verona and the foot of the Brenner. Here late one autumn or winter, probably at the famous gorge south of Trent, the Romans came first to blows with the Cimbri, and much astonished they were by the appearance of the herculean skin-clad savages who came

their country was made the goal of the vic torious Roman eagle. The Cimbri however were not destined to continue their march of conquest very far southward, for in the fearfully sanguinary battle of Verceliae in B.c. 101 Roman skill of arms thoroughly vanquished the invaders and covered the battlefield with tens of thousands of Teuton corpses. It was prob ably the first of the numerous subsequent occasions when Germanic armies, after wearisome marches over the Alps, came to grief on the banks of the

At a short distance S.E. from the cathedral, in the M.W. corner of the Corn-Market, stands a square massive the called the a relic of and old as the Roman period, and Is in the form of the ancient basilica, con sitting of a parallelogram, vaulted wi th semicircular niches in the thickness of the wall, which is very massive; in one of them, at the end, stands the altar

, a square block of stone, hollowed out, probably m contain relics. Oppo site to. it u a low gallery, supported on tower of rough masonry, Roman Tower, probably structure in Ratisbon, and the Roman castle. The churches of Ober mm Steuer Münster belonged to nunneries long since dissolved, whose abbesses held the rank of princesses of the empire, and occupied seats in the Diet 1 Most of the churches have been altered, modernised, or rebuilt, so that they retain very little of the primitive construction

THE OLDEST PASS OVER THE ALPS 51 Dr. v. Wanka in his interesting monograph on the Brenner, to which I am indebted for many details here quoted, gives an amusing account of the Roman inns that served the weary traveller. Their cheapness was probably their one redeeming feature ; for half an As 2-6., | of a penny, one could obtain lodging and food in the inns on the Italian approaches to Tyrol, The company to be found in such road-side hostelries was mostly very rough, and we can quite believe

Plutarch’s account of the m dignities to which the superior class of traveller was often exposed on the part of muleteers and other boorish customers. Though no details of Roman inns along the Brenner road have survived, they were probably called by names and hung out signs similar to those us ©d in other parts of the empire. Some were called by the names of animals, as for instance, "at the Elephant " 312 Pompeii or at Narbonne " at the cock,” and at other Places : " at the snakes,” " at the larger

, conflagrations and vandalism of the last two or three hundred years, Matzen, I must hasten to explain, cannot claim the honour to have been the original home of the Frundsbergs, for all historians unite in making Schloss Frundsberg or Freundsberg as it is often called, lying about eleven or twelve miles from Matzen, on a hill over the ancient town of Schwaz, the ancestral seat of the race. Some Roman remains dug up round the single tower that to day remains, confirm to a certain extent the legends that here

stood originally a Roman watch-tower guarding the road between Veldidena and Masciacum. The family probably took their surname from their ancestral seat, as did at that period so many of their fellow nobles. And though it does not seem to have remained long their principal stronghold, and ceased to be an allod in 1319 when the then Knight Frundsberg surrendered it to the sovereign receiving it back as fief, there is little doubt that it was the original place of residence in Tyrol of the Frundsbergs
