Address : Paddestraat 7, Velzeke (Zottegem) Velzeke (now incorporated in the town of Zottegem) was an important Vicus on the Roman Road linking Bavay (now FR) to Tongeren (now BE) to Köln (now DE). However, the site was occupied much longer before the arrival of Julius Caesar, but traces of that period are fainter. Henceforth, the core of the museum is related to the Gallo-Roman era.
