Anphitheater at Mines, France.

1900 years ago trained gladiators and
Christian martyrs were "butchered TO
make "A Roman holiday"
At Mines is also the most perfectly
preserved Roman temple in existence.
1t is lovely little Corinthian editice
now known as the Mason Carrcc and
dates from the year 4 a. d. This
beautiful little temple, which is now
used as a museum of antiquities,
served to some extent as model for
the great church of the Madeleine in
Paris.
Among other interesting Roman
ruins in Mines are The Gateway of Au
gustus Caesar, the beautiful Temple of
Diana, and the Baths OF Diana, which
have been eXcavaied, after having
been buried for over 800 years. The
Roman name of Mines was Nemausus,
and the Emperor Hadrian, who did
much to hcautify the city, at one time
contemplated making it his capital.
About Is miles from Mines. near
the picturesque little provcncal village
of Romonlius, may be seen one Of the
grandest and most impressive of all
the Roman structures known TO the
present age. 1t is the wonderful aquc-
duct across the river Gard, constructed
in the year 81 b. C. by Marcus Agrip-
IA, the great general and son-in-law Of
Augustus Caesar, and known to the
world as the Pont du Gard.
There is perhaps no ancient struc-
ture in all of Rome that brings us so
closely in touch with the mighty en-
gineers of that greatest age of the en-
pre as does this splendid old bridge
which still towers across the valley
of The Gard among the lonely hills of
southern France. 1t spans two hilltOpS
nearly thousand feet apart and car
rics an aqucduct upon three supcr-im-
posed tiers of massive stone arches at
Il height Of $50 feet above the brawl-
ing stream.
