CONSORANNI (Saint-Lizier) Ariège, France.

On a steep hillock dominating the valley of the Salat, Saint-Lizier was in Roman times the capital of the civitas of the Consoranni, whose name it bore. The only remaining visible monuments are the ramparts, which resemble those of the upper town at Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges (Lugdunum Convenarum) and, like them, date to the Late Empire.
