Secrets Unearthed: Could This Discovery Rewrite the Origins of Ancient Paris?
Ever since, the site of ancient Lutetia had gone undiscovered — perhaps, that is, until now.
Researchers believe that the recently-unearthed wall could have belonged to the very ramparts that Caesar would have had to conquer. In fact, the wall shows evidence of fire damage while burned seeds and wood fragments were also discovered nearby. This indicates that the area was destroyed by a fire — which may have been the very one set during the battle of 52 B.C.E.
Carbon dating of the charred materials suggests that they date to between 200 and 10 B.C.E., which obviously lines up with the timeline of the battle. Additionally, further evidence of military conflict came in the form of a Gallic spearhead that was found at the foot of the stone wall.
For now, however, the Ministry of Culture is still preaching caution about whether or not this discovery represents the remains of Lutetia and thus the origins of ancient Paris itself. Either way, the wall certainly remains a unique discovery, one that reveals a crucial part of Paris’ pre-Roman past.
After reading about the ancient settlement discovered underneath a Parisian hospital, dive into the story of Julius Caesar’s famous boast, “Veni, vidi, vici.” Then, take a look at these 33 chilling photos of the Paris Catacombs that house the bones of more than 6 million people.
