Légende

The Queen's Visit to Cimiez: Roman remains at Cimiez, 1895. Archaeological site near Queen Victoria's holiday accommodation in the South of France. 'To the east of the hotel are some interesting remains of a Roman amphitheatre, through which the high road passes. The ruins are in fair preservation, and testify to the wealth and importance of the old Roman settlement of Cemenelum, which formerly occupied this site. The amphitheatre is calculated to have held seven thousand persons, so that the town must have been a large and flourishing one. Further to the left are the remains of Roman baths, and in the walls of a peasant's cottage may be traced the remnants of a Temple of Apollo'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
