A fibula (brooch) decorated with a water bird. From the Heidentor, Egesheim, 5th c. BC.
Water birds appear as ornaments since the Bronze Age. They had a significance in the perception of the sun’s cycle. The birds could follow the sun, they fly in the sky, walk on the earth, swim, and dive in water.

Oh! This is actually one of favorite uses of information signs in an archaeological site. That photo is unedited; what you're looking at is a plexiglass panel with the outline of a reconstruction of the "Heathen's Gate," which matches the perspective of the actual ruin when viewed from there.

🏛️Heidentor ("puerta de los paganos", s.IV, Austria)
Son los restos de de un arco del triunfo en la ciudad romana de Carnuntum. Aunque hoy nos destaca por su inteligente musealización: en lugar de intervenciones agresivas, cartelería mostrando distintas perspectivas de cómo fue.

Carnuntum im Herbst ist traumhaft schön!
Au Moyen Âge, on crut qu'il s'agissait du tombeau d'un géant païen, ce qui lui valut plus tard le nom de « Heidentor », la « Porte des Païens ».

I’ve always liked simple information boards at heritage sites. The Heidentor in Carnuntum is a perfect example of balance between information and analog interaction - and it’s just great in itself! We caught the last bit of autumn sunshine there with @agatahaluszko.bsky.social .

Europe's Loneliest Roman Ruin Tells a Story Few Travelers Know
Rising alone in an open field, Heidentor looks simple at first glance, yet it carries the weight of an ancient empire. Many travelers pass nearby without realizing this striking Roman structure still stands exactly where history left it. Once you understand why it stands here, the surrounding silence feels anything but empty.
