FONTAINE DE MARIUS

The Fountain of Marius, located in the middle of the village, has a singular history
In the middle of the village stands an unusual fountain: the so-called "Marius Fountain", which has a singular history. In fact, it re-uses elements of an ancient monument to the glory of the Roman general and consul, Caius Marius, victorious in an epic and particularly deadly battle against Germanic invaders in 102 B.C. The battle, which claimed some 200,000 victims, took place on the territory of Pourrières. The very name of the village derives from the adjective "putrid", the dead of the battle having been left behind.
