On the Via Domitia
Here's looking up at a beautiful winter day's sky in Nîmes. Once a Roman colony, Nîmes is known as
la Rome française, the most Italian of any city outside of Italy. Originally an important outpost of the Roman Empire in southern Gaul, this ancient city is the site of important vestiges, notably its amphitheatre, built around 70 A.D. The impressive two-tiered arena's façade has 30 arches, one of which is pictured above.
