Vandring
Two thousand years ago, Sint-Lievens-Houtem was located on the Roman highway Veldeke-Asse-Tongeren. As a reminder of this, “the Roman”, a high bronze Roman soldier, was erected on the Balei. A statue by artist Robert Goossens that was inaugurated on September 5, 2004.

Vandring
The site of this statue, the Balei, is the highest point in Sint-Lievenshoutem (83m above sea level).
The statue refers to the 'Ouden Heirweg' (Old Heir Road), the Roman road between Boulogne, Asse, and Tongeren, which ran past here.
From 1596 onwards, the local gallows stood on the Balei. The name of the slope therefore comes from Banlo, which means 'forest for justice'.
