SAINT-LEZER
Hautes-Pyrénées, France.
The
oppidum of Saint-Lezer is enclosed by a rampart of
Roman date. Some consider it the first capital of the
“city” of Begorra. Since 1956 new investigations have
been conducted on the site. These have led to better
knowledge of the ramparts and of the stratigraphy of
the settlement, to the survey of a funerary mole, and to
numerous individual finds, especially pottery, and a
funerary head in white Saint-Béat marble.
