Augustoritum, Archaeological site in Limoges, France.
The remains of Augustoritum extend across a hillside overlooking the Vienne River, featuring a Roman grid layout with perpendicular streets and urban structures.
Founded around 10 BCE under Emperor Augustus, Augustoritum served as the capital of the Lemovices tribe and developed into a major Roman settlement in Gaul.
The amphitheater, built at the end of the first century, and public baths decorated with mosaics demonstrate the Roman influence on local architecture.
The archaeological structures lie beneath modern Limoges, with sections visible near the town hall where ancient walls form part of the current foundations.
The site contained one of the largest thermal bath complexes in Roman Gaul, located at the present-day Place des Jacobins.
