When the Romans began conquering regions to the north there were no roads. In the second century AD, carrying troops, goods and news from distant regions was done by ships on the rivers. In 2016 Dr. Boris Dreyer, an expert in ancient history, began reconstructing and testing Roman river boats, taking them as far as the Black Sea.
Fridericiana Alexandrina Navis, F.A.N. for short, is based on two wrecks discovered in Oberstimm and now displayed in the Roman and Celtic museum in Manching.
