A rare surviving remnant of the city's ancient Gallo-Roman fortifications, the gate's twin arches and Corinthian pilasters date back to the late 2nd century AD, specifically during the reign of Marcus Aurelius. Originally a monumental entrance to the Roman city of Andemantunum, the gate was eventually incorporated into the famous medieval ramparts that still surround the town today. The scene captures the timeless grandeur of the stone masonry, standing as a silent witness to nearly two millennia of French history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEra: Divided Back (1905-1913)\u003cbr\u003eCity: Langres\u003cbr\u003eState or Region: Haute-Marne (Champagne-Ardenne)\u003cbr\u003eCountry: France\u003cbr\u003eTopic: Roman Antiquities, Ancient Gateways, French Military Architecture, Gallo-Roman History\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Uncirculated\u003cbr\u003ePostage: Unposted; no postmark or stamp\u003cbr\u003eAddress Side: divided back\u003cbr\u003eOrientation: Horizontal (Landscape)\u003cbr\u003eArtist \/ Photographer: LL (Leon \u0026amp; Levy)\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Levy Fils \u0026amp; Cie, Paris\u003cbr\u003ePrinter: Levy Fils \u0026amp; Cie\u003cbr\u003ePrint Type: Collotype\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe production date is narrowed to 1905-1913. The card was published by the prestigious Parisian firm Levy Fils \u0026amp; Cie, identifiable by the LL initials on the front and the full company name on the central divider of the address side. This specific \"Carte Postale\" script and the winged \"LL\" logo in the wreath were standard for the company prior to its 1913 merger with Neurdein. The card is part of the Selecta series, numbered 23, and features a bilingual French and English caption, highlighting Langres as a significant destination for early heritage tourism. The caption incorrectly notes the gate was built in 57 BC, whereas archaeological evidence confirms its construction during the later reign of Marcus Aurelius.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLove it ♡\u003cbr\u003eGet it ☆\u003cbr\u003eGet Lucky 💋 Vintage\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Get Lucky Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46731004969149,"sku":"2944","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/4818\/1181\/files\/2944.jpg?v=1777778868","url":"https:\/\/www.getluckyvintage.com\/products\/2944","provider":"Get Lucky Vintage ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
