I woke up earlier than usual, today, even earlier than a typical working day. I wanted to jump on the saddle of my mountain-bike before the sun was high and ride along the riven till the ruins of an old Roman military camp, called Flavia Solva, in the area of the modern town of Leibnitz. The way down south of Graz is very smooth, with no climbs nor challenging terrain. Alas, after reaching the place where today the archaeological site stands, I felt a bit disappointed. Beside the remains of some opus-incertum walls and a collection of tiny little glass ampules, vials and bowls, nothing else was there to witness the life of this far outpost of the Roman Empire. Tombstones, funeral sculptures and insignia have been all moved to the city, in the Historical Museum of Graz.
Veni, Vidi, ... Equitavi.
