In 14 BC, a Roman settlement called Cemenelum was located on Cimiez Hill overlooking present day Nice, France. Augustus, the first Roman emperor, proclaimed it to be the seat of the Alpes Maritimae province. These ruins from the 3rd century AD include a bath complex, a basilica, an amphitheater and an aqueduct. The area is now an archaeological park and includes a museum of artifacts.
