The Antiquities of St. Remy. In common with a lot of the other places - in 1964, there was nobody around. Now there is a car park and everything.
The Mausoleum, or Cenotaph of the Julii - Then and Now
This funerary monument dates from 30-20 BCE. Particularly well preserved, it is famous for its unusual structure, unique in Roman architecture: from a rectangular pedestal with four carved faces rises to triumphal arch, on a small round temple housing the effigies of two members of the Gallo Roman family of the Julii, to whom this monument is dedicated. On the left the photo I took in 1964 and on the right the photo I took in 2019
The Triumphal Arch of the Antiquities of St Remy - Then and Now
It has lost the pediment which once crowned the arch. It is decorated with beautiful reliefs illustrating Caesar's conquest of the Gauls, with fruit and foliage, symbolizing plenty, carved under the arch. I couldn't get quite the same angle this time but at the top 1964 and bottom 2019. In the Then photo, there is a boy climbing on the Arch on the right side.
