The Roman Garden and its basin

One of the largest basins of Roman Gaul has been cleared and constitutes the major discovery of the site of Caumont. This basin is characteristic for its dimensions: 65 meters long, 3.20 meters wide, and 1.20 meters deep, it is surrounded by a margelle consisting of large limestone slabs of Oppède. By its size, its decoration, its state of conservation, it is the most noble arhéological vestige of the site. Nothing comparable has been found in this area since Pompeii.
