An exciting discovery...

Moi Watson

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!

Just between Copendio and A-Sylvanectum Smile
There is a lot of g-r sites right there, this was the roman-way aera to A-Suissonem/um: see also the "Champ-Lieu" amphitheatre, that (wrongly) gave the name to a type of Frankish Fibulas with bird-heads Smile

Now i just hope that, after all the treasur-searchers will stay away... in my region, they are particulary stupid as the moment the media said the word" treasure".. or "gold" .... Confused

The website of the archeological institute doing the excavation. Also a little video with more explanation (in French).

This is a very interesting find. I hope to see more of this! Smile
