Description
Gallia - Année 1993 - Volume 50 - Numéro 1 - Pages 139-179Le sanctuaire rutène des Basiols se trouve dans le massif montagneux du Lévézou, au sud du Massif central. Situé à un col, sur le tracé d'une route antique importante, mais isolé en pleine campagne, il a été intégralement fouillé. Bâti en pierre, il consiste en neuf petites cellae carrées ouvertes à l'est, enfermées dans un péribole dont on connaît seulement une petite entrée au sud. Trois des chapelles ont été arasées dans l'Antiquité lors de nouveaux aménagements. En outre il y avait un local annexe, hangar ou cuisine, cinq petits massifs de maçonnerie pleins ou évidés à destination incertaine, et une fosse.
Excepté trois cent vingt monnaies, le mobilier n'est pas très abondant. Il suggère que le sanctuaire, sans doute déjà vénéré à la fin de la République et aménagé sous Auguste, puis au milieu du Ier s. de notre ère, a existé jusqu'à la fin du IVe s., avec une fréquentation maximale sous le Haut-Empire.
The rural sanctuary of Basiols is situated on the Lévézou mountain range in the South of Massif Central. It is located in a pass, on an important ancient Roman road. It has been fully excavated. We found nine small square stone cellae, open at the East and enclosed in a peribolos whose only a small entry is known to be on the southern wall. Three cellae were pull down during the Antiquity, at the time of the new constructions. Besides them, there was a building (a warehouse or a kitchen ?), five solid stoneworks , whose purpose is not known, and a pit.
The furniture is rare. Only 320 coins were found. It suggest that the sanctuary, which was already venerated at the end of the Roman Republic and fitted up during Augustus's reign, and in the middle of the 1st century, lasted until the end of the 4th century, and was most frequented during the first three centuries A.D.
