Guess the ancient city!

Recommended Posts

Is this place connected to the continental part of the Saxon Shore fortifications?

 

No, it's not part of a shore fortification.

Neither any kind of fortification nor near the North Sea or Canal coast.

 

In fact, since pre-roman time it used to be a sacred place.

No, not really. The site was down twice when I wanted to write a reply ....

 

You're very close, Klingan! It is in the arrondissement of Avallon.

 

Last clue: Salty wells with bubbling mineral waters, still working, somewhere near the Via Agrippa in that area.

Well I figured out that they were called "the salted fountains" and are situated 1.5 km south of St-P
