The Peutinger Table refers to a relay station called Sipia along the route linking the capital cities of Rennes and Angers. This can probably be located southeast of what is today the town of Visseiche (Ille-et-Vilaine). It has recently been the subject of a range of archaeological observations which, although incomplete, have enabled its principal features to be outlined.
