Roman road

ces restes archéologiques sont émouvants

Well chosen low pov.

Not really, Jaap, it's just that the road rises steeply in front of me here. Maybe that is one reason why the locals didn't remove these stones - much too useful in situ!

That looks a good road Andy. I can see the rows of Roman soldiers trudging up here now. Well done.

Best Wishes, Herb

Thanks Herb. Current thinking is that it was mainly mine workers (slaves I should think). But, yes under Roman soldiers and slavemasters with whips I should think! Probably not a happy place!

Wow! is all I can say.

Wonderful shot!

Bonne découverte !

Fascinating stuff Andy..............I'm really enjoying your Roman Road images and this one is no exception. The well-worn stones look beautiful in the light. I'm guessing that upright stone on the right hand side is a mile stone?

Probably a kilometre stone as we are in Spain, Keith!!! :o))
Joking aside, I don't think so as there are three on this site in ciose proximity and a few more elsewhere, all in close proximity (see here: www.ipernity.com/doc/2247598/47958964 ). I don't know what their purpose was.

Beroemde oude wegen een bezichtiging waard,,,,mooi dat je me dit hebt getoond!

Wonderfully captured - and the matching of light and shadow is amazing.

Can you just imagine how many people it took to not only carry the big boulders, but also to lay them down in a sort of road. The best thing of course is the age of this road and how many travellers have trodden these stones.

The mind boggles, Jenny but please see my reply to Herb, above!

Justo, nada más verla he pensado “Parece una calzada romana” y seguido me lo confirma la lectura de tu pie de foto. Es un buen documento.

I am puzzled by some aspects of this road, José. If interested, you can find notes and comments on my other uploads of this road on the last 2-3 pages of my gallery.
Thank you and best wishes.

It must have taken many men and a lot of hard work to create that road!!

Indeed, Jenny!
