Une nouvelle stèle inscrite à Combas : noms d’origine locale et noms d’origine latine dans la campagne nîmoise au tournant des Ier et IIe s. de n. è

Abstract

This paper introduces an inscription which was newly discovered in Combas (Gard), a village located west of Nimes. After presenting the archaeological and epigraphic data about the Combas basin – data that will make it possible to understand the context of the discovery – we will analyse the monument and its inscription. This analysis will lead to a study of the onomastics in the whole territory of the city. This will allow us to better understand the process whereby the local population introduced Latin names and, at the same time, preserved the Celtic lexicon reworked by Latin use.
