Inscription to Mars

Archeological Discoveries

Inscription to Mars, found in 1810, in the debris in the amphitheater.
36 cm x 60 cm

Translation of the inscription:
"To Mars Auguste Lacavus. The Adgentii [created this monument] sharing the expenses."

It is probable that this stone was attached to the base of a statue of the god Mars for the construction of which the Adgenti contributed.
The Adgenti people, who are probably Gallic, have not been clearly identified.
