But the boat option seems more likely, as Marseilles is on the sea!
I don't mean to hijack the thread but ... a numbered contubernia. Shouldn't that be big news ?
Though after some googling, it's not all that clear that the number 5 identified the conturbernia. Cohort IIIII seems quite a more likely reading. nevermind I guess.
