Roman treasures of the Rhone river

For 2000 years, archeological objects of an inestimable value have been sleeping in the river bed of the Rhone River underneath the quay of the historic city of Arles, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A team of archeologists and divers has been digging patiently in these dark waters since twenty years in order to return their discoveries to the light of day.They are being presented to the public for the first time in the exhibition « César, le Rhône pour mémoire », the happy ending to an adventure story of a determined scientific quest in a battle against the ever-charging currents of a capricious river.
