Gallo-Roman site in Oise, France
Museum and Roman Theatre.
1 rue Les Marmousets, 60120 Vendeuil-Caply
There is a museum (Museé Archéologique de l’Oise) next to the road. The site is some hundred m walk.
The theatre can accomodate about 5,000 spectators and has a sacellum (small church) as a reminder of its religious role in antiquity. When you see these fields as far as the eye can see on each side, it is not easy to imagine that a Gallo-Roman settlement here extended over 130 hectares and included several monuments. This theater, built in the 1st century, was in the shape of a semicircle, with a diameter of 81 m.
