## Image Caption

Tabernae was a small Gallo-[Roman](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Roman/) town (*vicus*) located along the major Roman road leading from Divodurum Mediomatricorum (modern-day Metz) to Augusta Treverorum (modern-day Trier). The settlement existed from the 1st century CE until late antiquity. The inhabitants of the vicus mainly provided goods and services for travellers. 'Tabernae' was the Roman name for the way-stations or hotels on roads between towns where travellers could take a break.
