Ancient Road Uncovered In Greece

Excavations for Thessaloniki’s new subway system unearthed marble-paved ancient road.

The 70-meter or 230-foot section of an ancient road built by the Romans.

It was the city’s main travel artery nearly 2,000 years ago.

They found tools and lamps and bases of marble columns.

Archaeologists also found remains of another older Greek ancient road, which is 500 years older underneath ancient road!

So, there are two ancient roads on top of each other.

By the way, I have an archaeologists friend from Australia name Rupert Mann.

The marble-paved road was unearthed during excavations for the city’s new subway system that is due to be completed in four years, and will be raised to be put on permanent display for passengers when the metro opens.
