Jean Burdy, André Cochet,

A piece of a Roman lead pipe of a large bore, coming nearly certainly from the river Rhône right bank, opposite Vienne (Isère), bears, besides a Vienne plumber's new stamp, a consular date. It bears evidence of great hydraulic works for public purposes under Caracalla in A.D. 213. That brings in question the idea too long granted that the early third century was a period of decline for Vienne and saw the beginning of the desertion of the right bank district.
