AUGUSTORITUM
AUGUSTORITUM (
Αὐγουστόριτον), the capital of the Lemovices, a Gallic tribe, the neighbours of the Arverni on the west.
In the Table, Augustoritum is abbreviated or corrupted into Ausrito. The Anton. Itin. between Burdigala,
Bordeaux, and Argentomagus,
Argenton, agrees with the modern measurements, and determines the position of Augustoritum to be
Limoges, the former capital of the
Limosin. [
