Généralités sur le rempart Tibérien de Toulouse et résultant des dernières recherches

La porte nord de l’enceinte antique de Toulouse

Acte du congrès international célébré à Lugo en Novembre 2007, à l’occasion de la déclaration par l’UNESCO de l’enceinte de Lugo comme patrimoine de l’Humanité.

Abstract:

Many rescue archaeological operations undertaken since 1988 in Toulouse gave opportunity to the survey of important remains of the city walls. Under construction in 30 AD, the Roman defences in Toulouse are the only masonry of that kind, in Gaul, to be entirely made of bricks. The new definition of its wall returns to Toulouse, a colony placed under the Latin Law, its quality of Augustean city, due perhaps to the Princeps himself, built and completed under Tiberius, his successor.
(d’après R. De Filippo)
