Re: Saint-Lary Opidium by lafemmedepierre on Wednesday, 14 September 2022

Same remarks as for the so-called "Ordan-Larroque Opidium", AND, most important :
It is not an" opidium" or whatever. It was not bilt for military pruposes.
It was built for funerary purposes.
That's why this and the other similar constructions in the area are called in french "pile funéraire gallo-romaine".
