AUCH Gers, France.

Auch was the capital of the civitas of the Ausci. During the Roman Empire it was a double town: the old oppidum of Elimberris dominated the left bank of the Gers; new districts were built on the flood-plain on the right bank. In these districts of La Hourre, Le Garros, and Matalin, modern housing construction has allowed one to trace the sewer network of the ancient town, as well as to discover potters' kilns, rich assemblages of terra sigillata, an inscription concerning a sevir of Augustahis, and dwellings with mosaics.
