Archaeology is a science of interpretation. Written down, it becomes a story. And between the two lies the work of the archaeologist. This is precisely the objective of this book: to reveal the hidden side of archaeology. In the form of a true detective investigation, the work dissects numerous Latin inscriptions initially considered completely enigmatic. Mysterious products, sibylline writings, and unusual objects are the subject of surgical attention. Question after question, the author thus reveals his method of investigation. And the logic of the reasoning appears almost simple, even for non-Latinists. Based on the exceptional discoveries made in recent years in the Rhône, the reader becomes, for a moment, a true archaeologist. Through these various investigations, which overlap and feed into each other, a whole section of the economic and commercial history of Roman civilization is revealed.
Telephone conversations, email exchanges, personal reflections and humor all contribute to making this research more lively.
