Comment In ancient Rome, the milestones (in Latin miliaria au plur., Milliarium in sing.) were stone road posts generally in the form of columns bearing an inscription and intended to mark the distances on the route of the main Roman roads of the " Italy and the Roman provinces. As the name suggests, distances were measured in Roman miles, or about 1,460 meters.- This French article gives more explanations: False miliaria.-
Comment - Thank you. Armed with the knowledge of what a real miliarium is, I looked at the fr:Site archéologique d'Alésia article, and found out that this is a reconstituted miliarium, not a "false" one. But I don't think we'd use "reconstituted" in English. I'm struggling a bit for the word - something like "Ancient Roman miliaria rebuilt in modern times" would be clear, but I'd like some other people's opinions on how best to change the wording of the scope, so it's probably best not to do anything yet. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:32, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
