	Towns in Germania Inferior: Colonia Ulpia Traiana
		Colonia Ulpia Traiana (modern Xanten): town in the Roman province of Germania Inferior, situated on the left bank of the Lower Rhine.
		It appears that Xanten survived, although at least one man or woman was unable to recover a treasure of 390 silver pieces, three spoons, a dish, and several other objects, which remained buried until it was excavated by archaeologists.
		This is probably not coincidental, because in the sixth century, Xanten had become a castle of the Franks, and the name Siegfried may be a translation of Victor (both names mean "victorious", and both Victor and Siegfried were known as dragon slayers).

		Things have changed in the 48 years since Bill Xanten was hired as a gardener at the 163-acre National Zoo located in the Adams Morgan area of Northwest D.C. For one thing, the zoo smells better now.
		When a 19-year-old Xanten came to work at the zoo in 1956, the monkey house, which had been built in the '20s, was made entirely of wood.
		Over the last 20 years, Xanten said, uneven funding has resulted in attrition-driven staffing cuts, which would appear to have contributed to a series of tragedies including the infamous rat-poisoning of two red pandas, Luke and Quentin.

		He came to be convinced, completely without prejudice, that the child disappeared on the property of the Jewish butcher, and moved for the arrest of the Buschhoff family at the state attorney's office.
		On the day of the murder, shortly before ten, the neighbor of Buschhoff, Wilhelm Küppers, heard a conspicuous clamor of voices through the somewhat obstructing door of the butcher house; to another [female] witness, these goings-on were "creepy." The cloistered brother van den Sandt, who was passing by, likewise heard several voices.
		A court summons in Xanten [i.e., a trip to the actual location], however, brilliantly justified the statement of Mölder, as the state's attorney himself was forced to admit!
