France's Ministry of Culture publicly announced the discovery, saying the wall may be a fragment of the ramparts of Lutetia built by the Gallic Parisii tribe, with fire-trace carbon dating (10-200 B.C.) potentially linking it to the 52 B.C. Battle of Lutetia described by Julius Caesar.
“We may be looking at one of the most important remains ever discovered for understanding Gallic Lutetia”
Catherine Pegard, French Culture Minister
