Sablones - Wikipedia

Sablones was a Roman settlement in the province of Germania Inferior (Lower Germania), probably near modern-day Kaldenkirchen in Germany, just across the border from Venlo in the Netherlands. The statio is mentioned in the Roman travel guide Antonine Itinerary (Itinerarium Antonini) between Meridacium (Melick) and Mediolanum (Germania inferior) (Pont (Geldern)) and was located on the Roman road from Coriovallum (Heerlen) to Colonia Ulpia Traiana (Xanten).^[1]

It has been conjectured that the city of Venlo now occupies the site, but without direct proof.

History of the Roman and Byzantine Empire in modern territories

Late Roman and early Byzantine provinces (4th–7th centuries AD)

History

As found in the Notitia Dignitatum. Provincial administration reformed and dioceses established by Diocletian, c. 293. Permanent praetorian prefectures established after the death of Constantine I. Empire permanently partitioned after 395. Exarchates of Ravenna and Africa established after 584. After massive territorial losses in the 7th century, the remaining provinces were superseded by the theme system in c. 640–660, although in Asia Minor and parts of Greece they survived under the themes until the early 9th century.
