Synopsis
Ambiorix was a Celt. And a man, of course. But this really does not matter here. Did the lost Celtic army commander, who inflicted his most sensitive defeat on the Romans and Caesar in 54 BC, live in the Eifel in a newly founded Celtic castle? Many Celtic women fought with Ambiorix against the Romans. Fled through and surrounded by the Venn, which was impenetrable to the Romans, they perhaps founded their new Aduatuca here. They created their paradise. Celtic stones can still be found everywhere on field paths, especially around Kalterherberg. Caesar could not find the educated Celtic guide, but for centuries the faith of the Celts remained in this inaccessible area. Nearby, at the latest from 30 AD, was the beginning of the water conduit, but here was also the cradle of the Rhine Franks, for whom the Salian law - the right of inheritance for men only - did not apply for a long time. The importance of women's inheritance can still be seen here in the village names of the local people who lived here for centuries. Perhaps they also created a school for women and girls on the Mount of Joy because the Romans had not provided one, perhaps there was a Celtic priestess among the refugees around Ambiorix - let's just call her Muirna.
