Briga

Eu, France

Briga was a medium sized Roman town that was discovered during the digging of a local road shortly after the French Revolution. From the first century AD onwards, the Romans developed a substantial sanctuary complex on the site of what was a Celtic shrine, as well as the other features one finds at Roman towns, such a theatre, bathhouses and a forum.

Superb place to visit. Thank you very much to the archaeologist guide, who received us and explained the places. A real good in the past, especially that we are passionate about history. A good continuation to all the archaeologists who work on this site. A big thank-you. We will come back to see you again. Do not hesitate to go there, they really need us too to support and continue the excavations in this place. It's part of our past, we must keep this site. ?

Really awesome!! The guide was smiling and made you want to know more, it was hot but it was so interesting that you didn't feel it. We even had the right to take in hand reconstituted objects after the excavations. Must do if you are in the area!!

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
