## History

### Prehistory

No [artefacts](/source/Artifact_(archaeology)) from this time period have been found near Foug.

### Proto history

The historian [Henri Lepage](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Henri_Lepage_(historian)&action=edit&redlink=1) says in his book on the Meurthe: « In the forest atop the small hill traversed by the [Marne-Rhine canal](/source/Marne%E2%80%93Rhine_Canal), not far from the Nasium [Roman road](/source/Roman_roads) of [Toul](/source/Toul), there exists walls placed like the ones of an amphitheatre with inner seats. It must go back to an early period, maybe the celtic period. » In 1897 various items dating back to the bronze age period are found on the *Moncel* hill.[3]

### Roman occupation

The Roman road going from [Reims](/source/Reims) to Toul went through the location currently occupied by the Savonnière farm. On the side of this road near Savonniére, a terracotta medallion and an [aureus](/source/Aureus) depicting Roman emperor [Caracalla](/source/Caracalla) were found in 1955. The aureus was dated to have been made in the year 198.[4]

There is also various mentions of a Roman camp in the Raumont woods but to this day there have been no archeological proof of this camp's existence. However, on the territory of the [Laneuveville-derrière-Foug](/source/Laneuveville-derri%C3%A8re-Foug), which used to be a part of Foug during the [Ancien Régime](/source/Ancien_R%C3%A9gime), [Olry Terquem](/source/Olry_Terquem_(paleontologist)) state:[5] "At Les Sarrazines, important Gallo-Roman substructions with tiles, clay pot fragments, sawn stone and grinding wheel fragments, etc. Around 1820 a clay pot containing various coins was extracted from this place." he also said: "The summit and the base of the Raumont woods must have been buried by buildings because the ground is covered by ceramic shards, and clay pots and other debris from that time period." Clues on the existence of a Gallo-Roman settlement have been found near *Champigneul* and the *Savonniére* farm in the year 1994 and the year 1998. Before that there was the discovery of various coins depicting various Roman emperors and their spouses including: [Augustus](/source/Augustus), [Nero](/source/Nero), [Hadrian](/source/Hadrian), [Faustina the Elder](/source/Faustina_the_Elder), [Antoninus Pius](/source/Antoninus_Pius) and [Marcus Aurelius](/source/Marcus_Aurelius).[6]
