Ancient Roman Rest Stop Unearthed In Germany

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.
