Borne milliaire de Limoges

About

The Gallo-Roman honorary pillar of Limoges was probably a Roman route column, known at least since the eighteenth century and unfortunately destroyed in 1893 by the Public Works Department of the city of Limoges. Several authors, however, considered this stone unreadable, and even questioned its Milestone character.

The place of this monument, assuming it interfered with traffic, was at the museum Adrien Dubouche. »
