Vestige de la Place de Verdun - Aix en Provence, Paca, France - Ancient Roman Civilization on Waymarking.com

FR

Le 11 juillet 2016 ont commencés les fouilles ouvertes à l'emplacement du parking de la place de Verdun. Comme prévu, les archéologues ont commencé par trouver les reste du palais des comtes de Provence mais ils ont continués à fouiller afin de mettre à jour, dessous, les restes de la Voie Aurélienne, voie romaine qui reliait Rome à la partie occidentale de son empire et quelques structures de maisons en bordure car la ville date de 122 avant J.-C. (Aquae Sextiae)

Mise à jour du waymark.
Les travaux de fouilles sont bien fini. Tout a été protégé, recouvert et des vitres épaisses permettent de voir les vestiges sous la rue ... mais pour une raison que personne n'a très bien compris, le verre est incrusté de nombreuses pastilles blanches qui empêchent de prendre des photos.

On July 11, 2016, excavations began at the Place de Verdun parking lot. As expected, archaeologists began by finding the remains of the palace of the Counts of Provence but they continued to search to update, below, the remains of the Aurelian Way, Roman road that connected Rome to the western part of his empire and some structures of houses in border because the city dates from 122 BC (Aquae Sextiae)

Update the waymark.
The excavation work is well done. Everything has been protected, covered and thick glass allows to see the remains under the street ... but for a reason that nobody understood very well, the glass is inlaid with many white dots that prevent to take pictures.
