Mysterious carvings

Marker 2About ten inscriptions have been inventoried on the hewn rock face bordering the track. They seem to have no grammatical connection. Some see in them Gaulish or Roman names (MARCUS, LAIS, VETURIX or VIITURIX), which would suggest that the track has its origin in Antiquity, though this is impossible to prove as yet. The nearby discovery of a Roman coin from Nîmes only attests that people passed through here in Antiquity. This graffiti could just as well be the work of shepherds looking after their flocks much more recently!
