Lost ancient Roman town dating back 2,000 years discovered beneath construction site

AN ancient Roman town thought to have been lost for 2,000 years has finally been unearthed. Archaeologists were shocked to discover the remains of Ucetia at Uzes, in the South of France.

Until the discovery, historians only knew it existed thanks to an inscription in Nimes, an important French outpost of the Roman empire.

Roman began to conquer France back in 121 BC and Julius Caesar oversaw the total takeover by 51 BC.

It’s believed the site could date between the 1st century BC to the 7th century AD, with some features from the Middle Ages.

Archaeologists found huge mosaics and the remains of public building, providing an incredible first view into the past of the Roman town.
