Ancient and medieval history
Scarce remains of pre-urban settlements have been found in the area of Limoges. The capital of the Gaulish people of the Lemovices, who lived in the area, was probably some kilometers south-east of Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat. Gaul (Gallia was the Roman name for the region of Western Europe comprising present day northern Italy, France, Belgium, western The Lemovices (Lemovici were a Gaulish tribe of Central Europe who established themselves in Limousin and Poitou between 700 and Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat (Sent Liunard is a village and commune of the Haute-Vienne département, in the Limousin région
The city proper was founded as Augustoritum by the Romans, around 10 BC. Ancient Rome was a Civilization that grew out of a small agricultural community founded on the Italian Peninsula as early as the 10th century BC The foundation was part of the reorganization of the province by the emperor Augustus, whence the new name. Augustus ( Latin: IMPERATOR·CAESAR·DIVI·FILIVS·AVGVSTVS September 23 63 BC – August 19 AD 14) born Gaius Octavius Thurinus, was The Roman city included an amphitheater measuring 136 x 115 meters, a theater, a forum, baths and several sanctuaries. An amphitheatre (alternatively amphitheater) is an open-air venue for spectator sports concerts rallies or theatrical performances The Forum was the public space in the middle of a Roman city It had a great social importance and was often the scene of diverse activities including political discussions According to the tradition, a temple consecrated to Venus, Diana, Minerva and Jupiter was located near the modern cathedral. Venus was a major Roman Goddess principally associated with Love, Beauty and fertility, the equivalent of the Greek goddess In Roman mythology, Diana was the goddess of the hunt, being associated with wild animals and woodland and also of the Moon. The MInisterial NEtwoRk for Valorising Activities in digitisation, or MINERVA, is a European Union organization concerned with the digitisation of cultural and In Roman mythology, Jupiter was the king of the gods and the god of Sky and Thunder. The city was on the typical Roman square plan, with two main streets crossing in the centre. It had a Senate and a currency of its own, a sign of its importance in the imperial age.
Limoges was evangelized by Saint Martial, who came to the city around 250 with two companions, Alpinianus and Austriclinienus. Saint Martial was the first Bishop of Limoges in today's France, according to a lost Vita of Saturnin, first Bishop of Toulouse However, in the late 3rd century it was increasingly abandoned, due to unsafe conditions created by German invasions. The population concentrated instead on a more easily fortifiable site, the modern Puy Saint-Étienne, which is the centre of the modern Limoges. Starting from the construction of the Abbey of St. Martial (9th century), another settlement grew around the tomb of the saint, while a third area, next to the residence of the viscount (the future Castle of Saint Martial), seems to have been populated from the 10th century. St Martial's Abbey was an abbey in Limoges, France, founded in 848 and dissolved in 1791. Between Limoges, Brive and Périgueux, the viscounts of Limoges also called viscounts of Ségur created a small principality whose last heir was
Starting from the 11th century, thanks to the presence of the Abbey of St. Martial and its large library, Limoges became a flourishing artistic centre. St Martial's Abbey was an abbey in Limoges, France, founded in 848 and dissolved in 1791. It also was the home to an important school of medieval music composition, which is usually called the St. Martial School; its most famous member was the 13th century troubadour Bertran de Born. A troubadour ( IPA:, originally) was a composer and performer of Occitan Lyric poetry during the High Middle Ages (1100&ndash1350 Bertran de Born (1140s &ndash by 1215 was a Baron from the Limousin in France, and one of the major Occitan Troubadours of the twelfth
In the 13th century, at the peak of its splendour, central Limoges was constituted by two different fortified settlements.
- The town proper, with a new line of walls encompassing the Vienne River, inhabited mainly by clerks and the connected workers. The Vienne is one of the most important Rivers in south-western France, a significant left tributary of the lower Loire. It has a bridge entitled to Saint-Étienne, built by the bishops, and a developed port. Sacked in 1370, it never recovered entirely.
- The castle, with 12 m-high walls, including the abbey and controlled by the abbot, sometimes in contrast with the bishop-ruled town. Traces of the walls can still be seen in the city's centre.
Outside the lines of walls were the popular quarters.
In 1370, Limoges was occupied by Edward, the Black Prince, the heir to the English throne, who massacred some 3,000 residents according to Froissart. Edward of Woodstock, Prince of Wales, KG (15 June 1330 – 8 June 1376 popularly known as The Black Prince, was the eldest son of King Edward Jean Froissart (c 1337 &ndash c 1405 was one of the most important of the Chroniclers of Medieval France.

In the 19th century Limoges saw a strong construction activity, which however included the destruction and rebuilding of much of the city's centre, regarded as unhealthy because of local chicken eating contests and as a nest of prostitution. The unsafe conditions of the poorer population is highlighted by the outbreak of several riots, including that of July-November 1830, of the April 1848 and the early 1905.
