Comment

During the first century, the city of Augustonemetum (now Clermont-Ferrand) of the Arvernes decided to equip itself with a temple dedicated to Mercury. In the following century, this temple in arkose, having become undoubtedly too small to welcome the numerous pilgrims who went there, was replaced by a larger and more majestic temple in trachyte. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_de_Mercure_(puy_de_D%C3%B4me)
