Pompei Tropaea
monument · 330 BC – 640 AD
In 71 BC, as Pompey returned to Italy from Iberia, he set up a monument in the Pyrenees known as the Pompei Tropaea. This monument commemorated the 876 cities Pompey had conquered. Pompey's monument was spoliated in late antiquity, and a medieval church and later priory were built on the site. Spoliated in turn, what remains of all these structures now comprises the Sitio arqueológico de Panissars on the French/Spanish border.
