The dwelling dates from between the 2nd to 3rd century AD, for which the researchers have found the remains of walls that delimit the interior rooms, and two large blocks that supported pillars to mark the street entrance. https://www.heritagedaily.com/2022/12/archaeologists-uncover-high-status-roman-domus/145674 Quote At its height in Roman times the city had a population in the range of 30,000–50,000 or perhaps up to 100,000. Reims was first called Durocortorum in Latin, which is hypothesized to derive from a Gaulish name meaning "Door of Cortoro-". The city later took its name from the Remi tribe.
