The mysterious blocks of Bordeaux

Dominique Tardy and Jean-Jacques Malmary, members of the French Institute for Research on Ancient Architecture, have identified the origin of certain architectural blocks discovered in Bordeaux while the walls were being dismantled in the 19th century. These 400 pieces, a large part of which are preserved and exhibited in Aquitaine Museum, have been a mystery for a very long time, given the lack of historical context and the difficulty in establishing which monument they came from.
