Memorial for the FORVM HADRIANI

 
Voorburg, 2000
French limestone, 200 x ø 80 cm
Roman capitals, hand-chiseled

In my birthplace Voorburg are hidden in the ground the remnants of a Roman-Cananefates settlement: The Forvm Hadriani.

The site has been marked by a quasi Roman pillar with inscription to memorate the history of the place:
