The archaeological site of Grand contains a wide amphitheater and a mosaic of 232 m2. It is located in the French department of Vosges, in the region Grand Est, in France. It was an ancient Gallo-Roman city named Andésina (15,000-20,000 inhabitants), and now it is a little village called Grand.
The amphitheater was built at the end of the 1st century and can contain 17,000 people.
The mosaic shows at the center a theater scene of the Phasma of Menander and four animals at the four corners.
