To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

--The remains of a Roman aqueduct are still to be seenthere, and the foundations of ancient edifices are distinctly to betraced. In the course of the last century, a gymnasium was likewisediscovered, of great size, constructed according to the rules laid downby Vitruvius, and a hypocaust, connected with a fine stone basin, twelvefeet in diameter, surrounded by three rows of seats. Abundance ofmedals of the upper empire, among others, of Crispina, wife to Commodus, and Latin inscriptions and sar...cophagi, are frequently dug up among itsruins[82]. Hence, a belief has commonly prevailed that during the Romandominion in Gaul, Vieux was a city, and that Caen, which is only sixmiles distant, arose from its ruins. This opinion was strenuouslycombated by Huet; yet it subsequently found a new advocate in the AbbéLe Beuf[83]. The bishop contends that the extent of the buildings ratherdenotes the ruins of a fortified camp, than of a city; and he thereforeconsiders it most probable, that Vieux was the site of an encampment, raised near the Orne, for the purpose of defending the passage of theriver, at the point where it was crossed by the military road that ledfrom the district of the Bessin, to that of the Hiesmois.
