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.
