It said the building housed a public library. I can only imagine what the “late” return penalties would be.

I knew it was Koln when I saw the headline. All the good relics are found there because 90% of the city was destroyed by our bombers.

>>The walls were first uncovered in 2017, during an excavation on the grounds of a Protestant church in the centre of the city. Archaeologists knew they were of Roman origins

There were Protestants in Germany in 117 A.D.?

Still anxiously awaiting the results of the recovery of the burned scrolls from Pompeii.

With any luck, they will contain more than recipes or yoga exercises.
