Gelduba

Fort in Krefeld, Germany

Gelduba was a location in ancient Germania Inferior, the modern site of Gellep in the Gellep-Stratum district of Krefeld, Germany. A cemetery at the site was in use at least from the reign of Nero (AD 54–68). Tacitus mentions the place as the site of a Roman camp and a battle during the revolt of the Batavians in 69–70. Afterwards, a castellum was built there, according to Pliny's Natural History. The original fort of wood and earth went through three stages before it was converted to stone by 150. It was held by the Cohors II Varcinorum equitata. It was destroyed by the Franks after the revol
