Treveri is today Trier, Germany, and is considered Germany’s oldest city. It was founded in the 1st century BCE as Augusta Treverorum and was populated by the Treveri tribe. It would grow to serve as one of the capitals of the Roman Empire.
During the Gallic Empire, it was the second most important city. It later became one of the residences of the Western Roman Emperor. During the time of Constantius, a mint was started there.
Today, numerous Roman ruins remain in the city and area and are major tourist attractions.
