Origin and history
The Uchaud Milestone, also known as the Milestone Column of Antonin le Pieux, is a Roman vestige of the 2nd century. It is located in the commune of Uchaud, in the Gard, on the northern edge of the Domitian way, at the intersection of the Bernis road and the road between Nîmes and Narbonne. This column has a Latin inscription attesting its restoration under the fourth consulate of Antonin le Pieux, in 145 AD.
The boundary was classified as historical monuments by order of 30 November 1912. It is part of a set of three miles marked in the area, two of which are mentioned by the Archaeological Map of the Gard. Owned by the municipality, it marks a strategic point of the ancient Roman way, illustrating the importance of road infrastructure in the territorial organization of the Empire.
Located on the Domitian Way, this column bears witness to the work of maintaining Roman roads during the reign of Antonin the Pious. Its precise location, at the corner of RD 107 and the historic road, makes it a major archaeological landmark to understand the movements and exchanges in Narbonnaise Gaul in the 2nd century.
