Mark Knopfler, arènes de Nimes, Fr. ............... Nimes arena was built 1900 years ago...
Nimes is the town where DENIM - de Nimes = from Nimes - the textile used for jeans has been invented 500 years ago (more or less). The name "Blue Jeans" comes from the color "Bleu de Gènes" in French ... Bleu de Gènes and Indigo are the same color.

"According to the latest research, it would have ceased to carry water at the beginning of the sixth century... around 450 years after being built.
So I was wrong.
