During the Roman empire’s rule over modern day France, pottery making was a wide-spread occupation. Three kilns, along with various pieces of pottery, were discovered by archeologists in Melun. Only one kiln, called le four “du manège” (named after the place where horses of the Roman cavalry were trained), could be properly excavated in 1974. With it, archeologists found 60kg of ceramics, from small jugs to elaborate vases. The kiln, which dates as far back as the second half of the 2nd century, can now be seen in all of its ancient glory in the Jardin de Notre-Dame.
