Viggen Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Deep beneath a bus terminus in the town of Neuss, near Dusseldorf, they have found the 2,000-year-old foundations of a roadside rest-stop complete with forecourt, chariot workshop, restaurant and an area to give horses water and hay. A Roman traveller would have been able to order a quick meal before setting off on the wide road - which ran the length of Germany - or book a room and spend the night. There may not have been sweets or hamburgers but travellers could buy other essentials such as clothes, preserved meat and olives. full article with image at the Telegraph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
