Sainte-Gemmes-le-Robert, Italy

Rubricaire

The Roman waystation of Rubricaire in eastern Gaul, the first core of a series of successive settlements that came into being at the foot of Mont Rochard, is better known through its ruins than through historical texts. Also known as the château de Rubricaire, it was the seat of Sainte-Gemmes-le-Rob

ert, in the canton of Évron in (Mayenne), 11 kilometers as the bird flies from, and within sight of, the Jublains archeological site in Mayenne, chief settlement of the Aulerci Diablintes. Rubricaire has elements of Roman origin: the road, scattered habitations and baths. It is known through a 2nd-century map, recopied in the 11th century. The Gallo-Roman camp and the balneum of Rubricaire were declared monuments historiques in 1917.
