Arles - Alyscamps
Alyscamps (from Latin "allissi campi" = Champs-Élysées or Elysian Fields) was a Roman necropole next to the "Via Aurelia" just outside Arles. Early Christian martyrs have been buried here, so it not only became a center of pilgrimage, but as well was used as a burial ground untile medieval times. There are still hundreds of sarcophags all around, though the most valuable ones are in the local museum meanwhile. The church of Saint Honoratus, was built on pre-roman foundations 12th and 13th century, but has lots of addons and "renovations". This was a gathering point for pilgrims walking the Via Tolosana. The "Codex Calixtus" from 1139 mentions the tomb of Saint Honoratus. The Alyscamp, we see today, is much smaller than it was before, as the building of the railroad in the 19th. century cut off a big part (now a ruined industry areal). Most of the sarcophags and the walls of the church are covered with carved graffitis.
On an outer wall of St. Honoratus. There are layers of many graffitis, some rather weathered.
Middle row of stones
two small horseshoes / two "signs", maybe letters, 84 / ETIEVANT ????
Bottom row of stones:
Piton / 1 JANer 1887, E. LEVY.E / TANET AUGUSTE LE ?? JUIN 1873.
Where I put the ? in, I cannot read. There are more smaller ones to the right, but I can´t read them either.
