| Remarks | The existence of a temple dedicated to the Roman triad, Jupiter, Juno and Minerva is attested by St Saturnin's Passion (5th century). The 'Capitol' is probably the temple of the forum, the foundations of the podium which were found under the 'Place Esquirol' in 1998. It is possible that the vestiges evoked by Gölnitz were those of the 'Château Narbonnais' and the 'Porte Narbonnaise' destroyed in the middle of the 16th century |
