Some years ago I was at work in Salzburg: in the library among the old records, and in the Museum of Roman antiquities.My studies were principally concerned with the fifth century: the time when the Germanic tribes invaded these regions, the Roman garrisons retiring with or without resistance, while many settlers remained in the land.

Some years ago I was at work in Salzburg: in the library among the old records, and in the Museum of Roman antiquities.

The inscriptions testify to the official rank of many of the citizens, such as Duumvirs, Decurions, Ædiles of the markets and games; to the importance of the town as a place of trade, and to the encouragement given to the arts and manufactures...
