Machine-translated from the German article
In scholarship, the term Tricensimae commonly refers to a large Roman late antique fortress in the center of the area of the mid-imperial city of Colonia Ulpia Traiana (CUT) in Xanten on the Lower Rhine. The identification of the ancient place name Tricensimae with this installation is, however, disputed. There is only one ancient source on Tricensimae: Ammianus Marcellinus (c. 330 to c. 395) mentions the place in the 18th and 20.
