A
fragment of wall, with its painted decoration still visible. These walls
were excavated in 2002-2003, under a section of the present rue du Vieux-Marché.
In Roman times, there was a street running east to west. This wall comes
from the south side of the street. Click here

Based
on the fragment, archaeologist suggest that the wall might have looked
like the painting shown on the information panel in the museum. The red
and yellow suggest that the walls were painted in the 2nd half of the
2nd. century because they are similar to colors a house in Ostia, Italy
and in a cryptoportico in a villa in Berne, Switzerland.
