World Photography Day 2022
For the WPD I wanted to "honor" something really old - and I didn't find anything older!

The Gallo-Roman camp "Rubricaire" is known from a text from the 2nd century AD, copied in the 11th century, and transmitted, without alteration, by tradition and popular language. This fortress contains scattered dwellings and baths.

What I show here had been the thermal baths. Outside the fortress, 25 m below, stand these ruins. The "balneum" included the ordinary services: cold baths, steam room and hot baths.

Max Biobauer, Keith Burton, Andrea Ertl, Fred Fouarge and 32 other people have particularly liked this photo

Merci Annaig, c'est l'un des deux sites gallo-romains de ma région (l'autre est Jublains, ville gallo-romaine autrefois appelée Noviodunum).

Danke Stephan, es bleibt nicht mehr viel übrig von diesem römischen Lager, aber nur die Tatsache, dass die Mauern 2000 Jahre alt sind, ist schon beeindruckend.

Thanks Peter, I think you're right; or imagine: with a smartphone from which you hear voices and see moving pictures;-)))
