Marius canal in Gaul found

Recommended Posts

A canal built by Marius (Caesar’s uncle) has been found in Gaul in the Rhône River delta.  It is dated to 104-102 BCE, and is thought to have been constructed to help Rome in the Cimbrian Wars (113-101 BCE). The Cimbrian Wars were between the Roman Republic and the tribes of the Cimbri and Teutons, among others.
