FEAST OR FAMINE

  La Porte de Mars  – the Gate of Mars – built   at the end of the 2 nd  century, is the largest monumental arch of Roman antiquity still visible. It is a true historical treasure and a testimony to the importance of the city of Reims in the Roman Empire.   Under the central arcade, sculpted reliefs represent agricultural and wine-growing activities and work. Reims was already a city strongly defined by vines and wine. Under the eastern arcade, there is an image of a she-wolf suckling the human twins Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome. According to legend, it was Remus, chased away by his brother, who founded Rome.   La Porte de Mars, listed as a historical monument in 1840, has recently been renovated.    MARTINA NICOLLS MartinaNicollsWebsite    I    Rainy Day Healing    I    Martinasblogs    I    Publications    I    Facebook    I    Paris We...
