WYOMPONT Belgium.

A Gallo-Roman vicus located at the place where the Arlon-Tongres road crosses the Ourthe. Systematic excavations have never been undertaken there, but public works have on several occasions cut into foundations of various sorts. Potsherds, pieces of frescos, etc. have been found. In 1851 the remains of a villa were partially examined at a short distance from the vicus proper. Six rooms were cleared, two of which were built over a hypocaust and had mosaic pavings. Some tombs have been found at various times near the vicus and the villa.
