Their territory stretched between the Pyrenees and the Garonne, controlling the passes to the Pyrenees and the Iberian Peninsula, making it a strategic location for trade and travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Comminges entered Roman history in the 1st century BC during the conquest of Gaul.<br\/>Around 72 BC, the Roman general Pompey founded a city to bring together various local populations and soldiers. This city became Lugdunum Convenarum and later Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges. The city quickly became the political and administrative center of the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the Roman presence, the region underwent a process called Romanization:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>adoption of the Latin language<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>spread of Roman institutions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>development of agricultural villas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>construction of roads and infrastructure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>blending of Gaulish and Roman cultures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Numerous Gallo-Roman villas appeared in the Comminges countryside. These were often wealthy agricultural estates, featuring houses, baths, and mosaics. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-group alignfull pattern-media-text has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69ff71ea30255&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69ff71ea30255\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/destination-commingespyrenees.prep.faire-savoir.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/montmaurin-1200x900-1.jpg\" alt=\"Comminges during Antiquity Gallo-Roman villa entrance\" class=\"wp-image-438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/destination-commingespyrenees.prep.faire-savoir.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/montmaurin-1200x900-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/destination-commingespyrenees.prep.faire-savoir.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/montmaurin-1200x900-1-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/destination-commingespyrenees.prep.faire-savoir.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/montmaurin-1200x900-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Gallo-Roman Villa of Montmaurin <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-underlined\">In the footsteps of the Romans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Traces of this Roman period can be found in almost every village in Comminges, from small heritage items like<\/strong> <strong>an engraved white stone telling one of the many epics of this period, to Gallo-Roman villas like the one in Montmaurin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at Montmaurin and its archaeological site, which includes one of the largest Gallo-Roman villas in France!
