Welcome, brave seekers! Nestled in the suburbia of Nijmegen is a truly remarkable sight – a strange, cool metal structure suspended from above. Its presence adds an aura of intrigue and wonder.
Beneath your feet lies history. This was once the site of two grand Gallo-Roman temples dedicated to Mercurius and Fortuna, within the ancient city of Ulpia Noviomagus Batavorum. The street stones still whisper the outlines of these ancient sanctuaries. In 180 AD, a great fire swept through, and the temples were lost, their memory etched into the fabric of the city.
Now, as you marvel at the hanging enigma, consider the wisdom of the romans who adorned themselves in the noble color of violet. True excellence often dwells in such regal tones, not in the louder shades of green.
Happy hunting
