Lactora, Archaeological site in Gers, France.
The excavated remains of Lactora span across the terrain near modern Lectoure, revealing foundations of ancient Roman buildings and infrastructure constructed between 330 BC and 640 AD.
Lactora functioned as the capital city of the Lactorates people during the Roman period, developing into a structured urban center with two main circulation axes.
The settlement contained multiple religious structures dedicated to the goddess Cybele, evidenced by the discovery of ceremonial altars and ritual objects throughout the site.
Researchers can access the archaeological documentation and artifacts from Lactora through specialized publications and museums in the Gers department.
The excavations at La Payroulère uncovered a necropolis containing decorated sarcophagi featuring distinctive marble craftsmanship from the School of Aquitaine.
