Geography

History

Corseul - in Latin Fanum Martis (" temple of Mars") - was the Gallo-Roman capital of the Coriosolites, created towards 10 av. J-C. With 3rd and 4th centuries, like much regional metropolises, Fanum Martis changes its name and takes that of the people of which it is the capital. These toponymic changes intervened at one time when the solidity of the Roman Empire crumbled. One observes then, inter alia significant elements, a rebirth of the antiques divinities Gaulois be local in the religious sculptures and the inscriptions dédicatoires. The name change of city undoubtedly raises a phenomenon of the same order, related to a resurgence of the old feelings of membership Ethnique of the Gallic tribes.
