Nijmegen, the Netherlands
Nijmegen is an ancient city just inside the eastern border of the Netherlands, just downstream from where the Rhine splits and goes delta. It's on the south bank of the river Waal, the largest of two distributaries.
Nijmegen stands at the foot of a Pleistocene terminal morraine, and at 32 meters, the main old city is well above delta flatland — which explains its great antiquity in a flat and watery region.
Nijmegen became an important Roman trading and military post, then an official municipality at the northern Continental extent of the empire.
