Originated from a military camp settled in 30 BC by Julius Cesar, Trier had been served as the regional capital of Gaulle until being sacked by barbaric invasions and given up in 407 AD. The importance of Trier at that epoch is testified by the city gate, Porta Nigra, which is enlisted in a human heritage of UNESCO.
