They also found a whole treasure trove of other stuff like statues and engraved walls and other art in the buried remains of a Roman noble's residence dating between 100-200 AD, from when the Romans ruled Gaul.

quote:

Archaeologists have recently uncovered fragments of a life-size mural depicting the Greek Trojan War hero Achilles in the remains of a Roman home near Reims, France. The discovery, dating to the 2nd century CE, sheds new light on the cultural reach and artistic sophistication of ancient Roman Gaul.

The mural, depicting the mythological tale of Achilles and Deidamia, was found on the western outskirts of what was once the Roman city of Durocortorum, now modern-day Reims.

The discovery offers a rare glimpse into the tastes and traditions of the Roman elite who lived far from the empire’s major urban centers.

I give it five years before a radical muslim or progressive (or both) have it removed and destroyed.

Very cool.

I imagine that cost a penny or two back in the day.

That is one city where the pronunciation is nowhere near the way it is spelled. Odd even for the French. Beautiful city with a striking history spanning so many eras, not to mention the heart of Champagne country.

It's just an old closet light fixture.

It was overlooked all of these years because it was hidden on a closet ceiling.
