They also found a whole treasure trove of other stuff like statues and engraved walls and other art in the buried remains of a Roman noble's residence dating between 100-200 AD, from when the Romans ruled Gaul.

quote:

Archaeologists have recently uncovered fragments of a life-size mural depicting the Greek Trojan War hero Achilles in the remains of a Roman home near Reims, France. The discovery, dating to the 2nd century CE, sheds new light on the cultural reach and artistic sophistication of ancient Roman Gaul.

The mural, depicting the mythological tale of Achilles and Deidamia, was found on the western outskirts of what was once the Roman city of Durocortorum, now modern-day Reims.

The discovery offers a rare glimpse into the tastes and traditions of the Roman elite who lived far from the empire’s major urban centers.
