Rome In Paris

France was once a large ranging territory made up of many different clans and tribes known as Gaul. One of these territories known as Lutetia was eventually sacked and rebuilt by the Romans, eventually becoming known as the city of Paris. Paris still contains some of its Roman history; these include the ruins of Arenesde Lutece, a second century arena that sat 15,000 people and ramparts under the square of the Notre Dame Cathedral. The best part of all though are the exhibits at the Louvre. There are the following there: agricultural and carpentry tools, cooking pots and utensils, gold jewelry, sewing needles, surgical instruments, hunting lances, coins, musical instruments and playing dice. For a woman’s toilette, hand mirrors, perfume bottles, tweezers, a scraper to wipe off sweat, and an applicator for face powder in the shape of a human finger.
