Historique
Temple gallo-romain du Haut-Empire, datant de la seconde moitié du 1er siècle, construit sur un plan unique dans la région, et reposant sur des niveaux antérieurs. Deux grands murs perpendiculaires présentent un parement extérieur en petit appareil sous chaînage de briques. La particularité de cet édifice réside dans l'existence d'arcs de décharge couchés, dont est muni le mur nord.

History
Gallo-Roman temple of the High Empire, dating from the second half of the 1st century, built on a plan unique in the region, and resting on earlier levels. Two large perpendicular walls present an external facing in small ashlar under brick chain. The particularity of this building lies in the existence of laid relieving arches, with which the north wall is furnished.
