I now live in Basel, Switzerland which has a Roman history and there are some very interesting displays in the history museum here. The first street I lived along in Basel was known to be a Roman enclave.

Any chance we could persuade the Romans to invade again? Roads, aqueducts, central heating… although it would have helped if the wall still worked.
