Gelduba (Krefeld-Gellep) Germany.
An auxiliary castellum of the lower Germanic limes. Pliny (HN 19.90) mentions
Gelduba as a castellum Rheno impositum in an agriculturally rich area. The legate
Vocula constructed a camp here during the uprising of the Batavi. It was occupied
a short time and surrendered under pressure from Civilis (Tac. Hist. 4.26, 32,
35, 36, 58). After A.D. 70 an auxiliary castellum was built (It. Ant. 255.3) of
which so far the principia have been excavated. There was a vicus SE of the auxiliary
castellum. There are traces of ditches, possibly of a camp, and areas surrounded
by strong fences where Roman weapons have been found. From Flavian times until
the 3d c. A.D. Gelduba seems to have been the garrison of an ala; in Late Roman
times, perhaps of limitanei. The graves date from Neronic to Merovingian times.
Most of the finds are at the Niederrheinisches Landschaftsmuseum in
Krefeld-Linn; some at the Rheinisches Landesmuseum in Bonn.
