Arikamedu 
A historical site is very nearby Ariankuppam and  4-km south of Pondicherry, which revealed local trade with Romans as early as 2nd century BC, some even believe Roman settlements existed. Wine seems to have been a major import as excavated amphora jars suggest. In return, textiles, precious stones and shell-jewellery left these shores.
