In Meerssen there is an ordinary field – or at least it seems so. Because if you look closely, you can still find pieces of Roman roof tile. Not surprising when you consider that a huge villa once stood here. In this episode, we go in search of it. And how did you, as a Roman, make sure you arrived on time? We ask our Roman expert. Do you know what the link is between a delicious slice of Limburg cherry pie and the Romans? Frank van Eerd of the Bisschopsmolen in Maastricht tells us all about it.
