Rome in the Pyrenees is a unique treatment in English of the
archaeological and historical evidence for an important Roman town
in Gaul, Lugdunum in the French Pyrenees, and for its surrounding
people the Convenae. The book opens with the creation of the
Convenae by Pompey the Great in the first century B.C. and runs
down to the great Frankish siege in A.D. 585 and its aftermath. Now
the town of Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges, Lugdunum is one of the
best-known Roman towns in Gaul, with a rich selection of monuments
at the town itself and important remains in the countryside, such
as the classic villa at Montmaurin or the votive altars, cinerary
caskets and sarcophagi in the local marble. The book traces how the
Convenae used their marble to help create their identity, invisible
before Pompey but amongst the richest and most distinctive in Gaul
by the second century A.D. Drawing on his own excavations at
Saint-Bertrand and the extensive earlier and recent work there,
Simon Esmonde Cleary combines a clear description of the buildings
and monuments of Lugdunum and of its countryside with a discussion
of what they can tell us about the impact of Rome on this remote
corner of its empire. This book will be extremely valuable to
ancient historians, classicists and students of Roman archaeology,
and contains a guide to the visible Roman remains of the area.
