CAHORS (Town) LOT
Divona later Cadurci (Cahors) Lot, France.
First called Divona, then Cadurci, Cahors was the capital of the civitas of the
Cadurci throughout the Roman period and a center of pilgrimage. It owed its existence
to the holy spring of Divona (undoubtedly the Fontaine des Chartreux) and to the
ford (later a bridge) which allowed the crossing of the Lot. Some remains of the
Roman bridge and theater still existed in the last century, but nothing of them
can be seen today. However, recent housing construction in the districts W of
Cahors has uncovered an "Arch of Diana" (in reality a part of the public
baths), mosaics whose number and diversity may indicate the existence of a local
workshop. Dwellings and their associated assemblages have been identified, and
information about the aqueduct which brought the waters of the Vers from 30 km
away has been gained.
