Between July 2007 and December 2008, a preventive excavation was carried out in Reims, France, covering nearly two hectares and four kilometers of land related to the city's tramway. This archaeological project aimed to uncover and document the historical layers of the city, from ancient times through the medieval period to the modern era. The excavation revealed valuable insights into how the city evolved over time, including the layout of ancient roads known as the cardo and decumanus, which were the main north-south and east-west streets in Roman cities. These findings also included residential areas and necropolises, which are ancient burial grounds. The excavation provided more precise information about the locations and structures of several important ancient monuments in Reims. This information helps historians and archaeologists better understand the city's historical development and its significance during different periods. The project also uncovered a large number of movable items—objects that can be easily transported—offering a glimpse into the daily lives and cultural practices of past civilizations. Among the many artifacts discovered, the Saint-Remi Museum has selected a particularly remarkable collection to display. This includes an exceptional set of bronze and silver tableware from the third century AD, which provides insight into the dining habits and social customs of that era. These items are not only valuable for their craftsmanship but also for the historical context they offer. In addition to the ancient tableware, the museum is showcasing a treasure of gold and silver coins minted at the beginning of the eighteenth century. These coins are significant for their historical and monetary value, reflecting the economic conditions and artistic styles of that time period. The display of these artifacts highlights the diverse historical periods represented in the excavation and offers the public a chance to appreciate the rich heritage of Reims.
