a monumental archaeological discovery
In the outskirts of Rennes, archaeologists have been diligently excavating a site that has turned into a treasure trove of ancient artifacts. This discovery is providing experts with unprecedented insights into the region’s historical significance. The excavation covers two plots measuring approximately 8,611 and 21,528 square feet, where traces of human settlement stretching back thousands of years have been unearthed.
The findings include items from different periods, some dating back to antiquity and others from medieval times. Among these artifacts stands out a particularly well-preserved gold ring adorned with onyx, its gem engraved with intricate designs. This precious object has sparked interest not only for its beauty but also for what it represents about the region’s storied past.
an ancient crossroads
Deep within the layers of soil at the Touraudière site, relics from prehistoric times speak volumes about continuous human activity throughout the Bronze Age. Fragments of molds intended for metallurgy confirm local craftsmanship practices. Additionally, swords uncovered by scientists point to significant yet undated military activities.
- Protohistoric objects reveal early local craftsmanship.
- Swords suggest historical military significance but lack precise dating.
During antiquity, this location evolved into an important thoroughfare, particularly between the second and fourth centuries AD. Although there was no major population concentration before this period in this part of Brittany, the Gallo-Roman era saw the emergence of Condate—modern-day Rennes—as a prominent city. It was during this flourishing time that someone likely lost their precious gold ring with embedded onyx, which features a finely carved figure believed to depict Venus Victrix—the Roman goddess Venus associated with victory.
a tale through time
After Rome’s conquest defining Gaul’s territorial expanse, this site remained an active passageway in the region. Over centuries leading into early medieval times, agricultural or residential structures suggest that locals established a hamlet here as early as the seventh century AD. According to experts’ estimations based on current findings at hand regarding development phases throughout history without abandonment thereafter until modern restructuring projects took place on these lands later down successive timelines following initial settlements made long ago by ancestors living off land resources surrounding them amidst evolving circumstances shaping life experiences faced daily across generations intertwined closely together ever since distant origins traced back ages ago when first settlers arrived establishing roots firmly planted deep beneath earth’s surface
