Autun: Rome's Forgotten Sister plot

Less than 2000 years ago, Autun was the second largest city in France. Known as 'Augustodunum' after the famous Roman emperor, it was considered a sister of Rome. But the final mysteries of this city are only now being revealed. Such as the recent excavation of a huge necropolis, with 15 intact sarcophagi and skeletons. Or the 'infernal puzzle of Autun' that researchers have finally deciphered thanks to digital technology. How was this immense city built so quickly? What technological challenges were overcome to accomplish this feat of impossible urbanism?
