Forum de Vieux-la-Romaine

The rectangular forum complex extends over 115 meters by 51.5 meters, featuring shops, porticos, and a central square divided into sacred and public areas.

Built in the early 2nd century, this Roman settlement reached its peak between 120-140 AD with numerous public buildings constructed around the main forum.

The temple within the forum complex contains evidence suggesting dedications to Mercury and Vulcan, reflecting the religious practices of Gallo-Roman society.

The archaeological site maintains regular excavation activities and offers guided tours through preserved sections of the ancient Roman administrative center.

Archaeological findings from the forum include specific architectural elements made with intonaco plaster, demonstrating Roman construction techniques in northern Gaul.
