Gallo-Roman wall (fragment): inscription by order of 2 May 1947
Origin and history
The Gallo-Roman remains of Uzurat, located in Limoges in the department of Haute-Vienne, are a fragment of wall of enclosure dating from the first century. This vestige, about 25 meters long and 8 meters high, is built in small machine bellows. It is presumed to belong to the enclosure of the Gallo-Roman city of Augustoritum, ancestor of Limoges.
The wall was inscribed as historical monuments by order of 2 May 1947. This classification reflects its heritage importance and archaeological value in understanding the region's ancient urban landscape. The site is located at the Roche-au-Gô Road, in an area where geographical accuracy is estimated to be fair (level 5/10).
Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, confirm its status as a Historic Monument. The fragment is a rare material testimony of the Gallo-Roman period in the region, offering an overview of the construction techniques and the defensive organization of ancient cities in Limousin (now New Aquitaine).
