L. Tincus Paculus Pervium Fecit

All the cities I have mentioned here saw a substantial development throughout the Roman period. They were centers of commerce and administration, and points of passage between Rome, Lyon, and Geneva. While digging up a street in order to repair it, the city of Geneva recently uncovered some parts of the Roman port of Geneva, which now lie open for everyone to see. It is quite an experience to stand in the midst of late-twentieth-century traffic and be able to look at a perfectly excavated and preserved Roman waterwall. Many of the artifacts excavated from the Roman period of the Savoie can be seen in the Chambéry museum, as well as in the spare but well-organized little museum at Moûtiers.
