Via Domitia & The Oppidum d'Ambrussum

Map Photo - 9 "The Oppidum of Ambrussum" - the start of the visible remains of the Roman Road - There is a story that rail gauge was derived from the rutways created by chariots used by Imperial Rome, which everyone else had to follow to preserve their wagon wheels, and because Julius Caesar set this width under Roman law so that vehicles could traverse Roman villages and towns without getting caught in stone ruts of differing widths
