Sanctuary of Mercury Canetonnessis

archaeological site · 30 BC – 2100 AD

Findspot of the so-called "Berthouville Treasure," discovered in 1830 in the hamlet of Villeret in the French commune of Berthouville. A temple and a theater of presumed Roman imperial date were subsequently excavated in the late 19th century. The site is not visible today, but a resistivity survey conducted in 2005 (Thierry) verified the locations of these major structures and the general accuracy of Babelon's map, deriving from the original excavations.
